The sensational autobiography of Britain’s new tennis superstar. In his own words for the first time, Andy Murray will talk about the long, testing and sometimes difficult path to superstardom. Temperamental, gifted, passionate, and fiery, Murray is the new face of tennis and a role model to a whole generation.
I am enjoying this much more than I imagined. I've always enjoyed good autobiographies, but since Andy has just won Wimbledon I thought this would be fun. It's well written and is giving a real insight into the man - it's comic too (he has a dry sense of humor) and I find myself with a smile on my face as I read.....................I've always found it fascinating to delve into what makes up the character of a man who is a real champion..............strong stuff..........

Andy Murray is a British tennis player.
After turning pro in 2005, Andy won his first ATP title, the SAP open in San Jose, a year later. Fast forward two years and seven more tour titles, Andy reached his first grand slam final, the 2008 US Open. However in 2012, having lost in three subsequent grand slam final appearances, Andy became the US Open Champion. This was hot on the heels of an illustrious Gold Medal victory at Wimbledon during the London 2012 Olympics. Andy then ended years of British heartbreak on the same turf just a year later by becoming the first British male in 77 years to win the highly coveted Wimbledon Championships in London in July 2013.
