Synopsis: Few tennis players have ever had to carry the same weight of expectation from an entire nation in the way that Andy Murray has. Nor has their path to triumph been subjected to quite so much scrutiny and ill-informed comment, with his mother, his on-court anger and even his facial hair all subjected to criticism. Now, in this fascinating and revealing biography, updated and revised throughout to include his famous Wimbledon victory, Mark Hodgkinson unveils a very different Murray from the public perception, showing how his family, his coaches and his girlfriend have all helped to shape him into what he has always wanted to be: a winner. Olympic gold and two grand slam titles have taken him to a new level, and mean that Murray is now a man who has the nation behind him - and is hungry for more success.
