William Murray is well-known because he is the father of Andy Murray, a well-known tennis player. He is in charge of the RS McColl newspaper stands in Scotland.
Andy’s father and mother can be seen cheering him on at the Canadian Open. We should also learn more about his father, sister, and the winner of the Canadian Open.
Who is William Murray, the father of the tennis player Andy Murray?
William has stayed out of the public eye during his sons’ tennis careers, unlike their mother Judy, Andy’s father, and Jamie Murray’s father. But even though he and their mother broke up, their father is said to have been just as involved in the lives of the two-time Wimbledon champion and his brother Jamie.
William Murray is from Dunblane and works as the regional manager for RS McColl, a chain of newsstands in Scotland. William married Judy Erskine in a small ceremony in 1980. Later, Jamie, who was born in 1986, and Andy, who was born in 1987, joined the Murray family. But in 2005, after being apart from each other for nine years, they decided to end their marriage.
William says that when Jamie and Andy heard about the divorce, they were shocked. He was quoted in the Daily Record as saying, “I had to tell them that their mother was leaving. It tore me apart to have to hurt them by telling them what I did. He added, “They were upset.”
But even though most people thought that Andy and Jamie Murray were closer to their mom Judy, they stayed with their dad after their parents split up. William said in 2009 that he “kept the family home and cared for them for the next four to five years.”
It was hard for the Murray parents to split up. Andy Murray told The Telegraph in 2007 that they “didn’t talk to each other much and didn’t get along very well. They are just two different people.” He also said that everyone in the family, including the kids, was very competitive.
In 2016, Andy and Jamie Murray went to a fancy Dunblane hotel to watch their father get married to his longtime partner, Sam Watson.
Is there a sister for Andy Murray?
Sir Andy Murray is a British tennis player who plays professionally. After his wins in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and London in 2012, he became the first and only athlete, male or female, to win two gold medals in singles at the Olympics.
Andy Murray is an only child. Andy and his brother are the only two children that their parents have. Jamie Murray, who is two years older than him, is also a pro tennis player. The young athlete has become an expert in men’s doubles, and in April 2016, he was ranked no. 1 for the first time in his career.
Jamie was born in February 1986 in Glasgow, which is the capital of Scotland. William and Judith Murray are the parents of the professional tennis player. He grew up in Dunblane, where he went to the Dunblane Primary School and then St. Faith’s School, where he stayed for only about eight months before going back home.
Andy Murray has won the Canadian Open
In Montreal, Taylor Fritz, an up-and-coming American, beat former No. 1 Andy Murray in a very strong way. The 35-year-old three-time grand slam winner couldn’t beat his opponent, who won the first set 6-1 and the second set 6-3. Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie both won, which was better news for the British.
Andy Murray lost to Taylor Fritz 6-1, 6-3, and was out of the Canadian Open. The first-round match between the former world No. 1 and Fritz had to be moved to Monday because of bad weather.
When they finally went out on the court 24 hours later, the Americans had a better day than Montreal, beating them with 29 wins.
Fritz broke the Brit on his fifth break point to go up 2-0. In his first service game, Fritz held to love. After Murray finally got a point, Fritz, who is 6’4″, pulled away from his opponent by holding to love in two more service games and finishing the set with his serve.
In the second set, it was a lot closer. Murray still had the lead until he hit a forehand into the net at 4-3, which broke his serve. Murray lost his temper and threw his racket into the court. Even though Murray came back in the next game to force a breakpoint, Fritz held and broke again to win the match.
Fritz will now play against Frances Tiafoe, another American. Tiafoe beat Benjamin Bonzi in three sets. Cameron Norrie, another British player, beat Brandon Nakashima 6-4, 6-4, in 1 hour and 14 minutes after losing the Los Cabos Open final a few days before.
Andy Murray beats Stan Wawrinka 7-6 (3) in the first set of CincyTennis. Murray served very well and won the tiebreak with a risky backhand shot up the line.
