Murray Celebrates His Birthday Today: A Look Back at the Legendary Career of the Brit
A key member of the Big Four, Murray managed to carve out his place in an era overwhelmingly dominated by Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. Retiring in 2024 after years of battling a hip injury, the Brit surprised everyone by becoming one of the Serbian’s coaches for six months. Born in 1987, he turns 38 today—an opportunity to revisit his major titles.
Over the course of his career, Murray claimed 46 trophies, including three Grand Slams (Wimbledon 2013, 2016, and the US Open 2012) and 14 Masters 1000 titles. He is also the only player to have won two Olympic gold medals in singles (in London and Rio), as well as the only one to have secured a Grand Slam singles title, Olympic gold, a Masters 1000, and the ATP Finals in the same calendar year (2016). A former world No. 1, the Glasgow native held the top ranking for nearly 41 weeks.
Murray is also known for his numerous runner-up finishes: six in Masters 1000 events and eight in Grand Slams, five of which were against Djokovic (Roland Garros in 2016 and the Australian Open in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2016).
All these achievements earned him a knighthood, bestowed by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on May 16, 2019.
