See [[WP:UKNATIONALS]], Sport section. i.e. "For sportspeople, their nationality is usually described by the national team that they qualify to represent or, in individual sports, the national sports association or federation with which they are registered."--> former professional [[tennis]] player and coach. He was ranked as the [[List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players|world No. 1]] in men's singles by the [[Association of Tennis Professionals]] (ATP) for 41 weeks, including as the year-end No. 1 in [[2016 ATP Tour|2016]]. Murray won 46 [[ATP Tour]]-level singles titles, including three [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Tournaments|major]]s at the [[2012 US Open β Men's singles|2012 US Open]], [[2013 Wimbledon Championships β Men's singles|2013 Wimbledon Championships]], and [[2016 Wimbledon Championships β Men's singles|2016 Wimbledon Championships]]. He also won two gold medals at the [[Tennis at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics]], the [[2016 ATP World Tour Finals β Singles|2016 ATP World Tour Finals]], 14 [[ATP Masters 1000 tournaments|Masters]] events, and contested a total of eleven major finals. Originally coached by his mother [[Judy Murray|Judy]] alongside his older brother [[Jamie Murray|Jamie]], Murray moved to [[Barcelona]] at age 15 to train at the SΓ‘nchez-Casal Academy. He began his professional career around the time [[Roger Federer]] and [[Rafael Nadal]] established themselves as the two dominant players in men's tennis. Murray had immediate success on the ATP Tour, making his top 10 debut in 2007 at age 19. By 2010, Murray and [[Novak Djokovic]] had joined Federer and Nadal in the [[Big Three (tennis)#Big Four era|Big Four]], the group of players who dominated men's tennis for most of the 2010s. Murray initially struggled against the rest of the Big Four, losing his first four major finals (three to Federer and one to Djokovic). He made his breakthrough in 2012 by defeating Federer to win the [[Tennis at the 2012 Summer Olympics β Men's singles|London Olympics]] and defeating Djokovic to win the US Open, becoming the first British major singles champion since [[Virginia Wade]] in [[1977 Wimbledon Championships β Women's singles|1977]]. He then beat Djokovic to win Wimbledon in 2013, the first home champion at the men's event since [[Fred Perry]] in [[1936 Wimbledon Championships β Men's singles|1936]]. Murray had his career-best season in 2016, when he made three major finals, winning Wimbledon. He defended his title at the [[Tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics β Men's singles|2016 Rio Olympics]] to become the only player, male or female, to win two Olympic gold medals in singles. Murray also became world No. 1 for the first time in 2016, and clinched the [[List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players#Year-end No. 1 players|year-end No. 1 ranking]] by winning the Tour Finals title over Djokovic. After 2016, he struggled with a hip injury that required major surgery, and fell out of the top 100 in 2018. Upon his return, Murray won a tour title at the [[2019 European Open β Singles|2019 European Open]] and rose back to the top 50. He retired from the sport after the [[Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics|2024 Paris Olympics]]. Murray was an all-court player who excelled in particular at defence, returning serve and constructing points. He was generally regarded as possessing one of the most consistent two-handed backhands on the ATP Tour. Murray is credited with re-establishing the United Kingdom as a leading force in men's tennis for the first time since the early 20th century. He and his brother led the [[Great Britain Davis Cup team]] to a title in [[2015 Davis Cup|2015]]. Murray has been outspoken on issues of equality, and became only the second top-10 player in the history of the ATP Tour to have a female coach when he hired [[AmΓ©lie Mauresmo]] in 2014. Shortly following his playing career, Murray took up a coaching partnership with his [[DjokovicβMurray rivalry|former rival]] Djokovic for the [[2025 Australian Open]]. {{TOC limit|2}}
