ANDY MURRAY


andy murrayScottish tennis stud Andy Murray is 6'3" (1.9m) and 190 lbs. (84kg).  According to Wikipedia Andy was born in Glasgow, Scotland. His maternal grandfather, Roy Erskine, was a professional footballer who played reserve team matches for Hibernian and in the Scottish Football League for Stirling Albion and Cowdenbeath. Murray's brother, Jamie, is also a professional tennis player, playing on the doubles circuit. Murray was born with a bipartite patella, where the kneecap remains as two separate bones instead of fusing together in early childhood. He was diagnosed at the age of 6 and had to stop playing tennis for six months. Murray is seen frequently to hold his knee due to the pain caused by the condition, but manages it through a number of different approaches. But Murray has been known to pull out of events because of the condition.

He witnessed a mass murder at his own school as a child. Murray attended Dunblane Primary School, and was present during the 1996 Dunblane massacre. Thomas Hamilton killed 7 people, mostly children who were in a younger age group than Murray, before turning one of his four guns on himself. Murray took cover in a classroom. Murray says he was too young to understand what was happening and is reluctant to talk about it in interviews, but in his autobiography Hitting Back he says that he attended a youth group run by Hamilton, and that his mother gave him rides in her car Murray is in a four-year relationship with Kim Sears, which ended briefly in 2009 before they reconciled in 2010.  Murray's tennis idol is Andre Agassi.
