Born 12 May, 1987 in Dunblane, Scotland, Andy Murray is the number one ranked tennis player in the United Kingdom. His meteoric rise from youngster to top pro has caused quite a stir and made him a cult figure with British tennis fans. The hype surrounding Murray has been compared to the “Henmania” of Tim Henman, leading the media to describe it as “Andymonium!” Wherever he is playing, he is sure to attract the punters and with free bets available from Betfair and Skybet you can cash in on the action with little to no risk.

Murray burst onto the tennis scene in 2005, where he finished in the third round of the Stella Artois Championships at Queens and also at Wimbledon. His performance at Wimbledon was incredible as he was entered as a “wildcard” whilst being ranked 374th in the world at the time. Towards the end of 2005, Murray was crowned the BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year and was also awarded the Young Sports Personality of the Year award on English television.
