Wimbledon glory (July 2013)
Murray survived a nerve-shredding last game to clinch a 6-4 7-5 6-4 win against world number one Djokovic to finally end Fred Perry’s 77-year reign as the last home men’s singles champion.
Davis Cup glory (November 2015)
Of all Murray’s successes, guiding Britain to the Davis Cup title was the most unlikely. The Scot won 11 of Britain’s 12 points, including three in doubles with brother Jamie.
Second Wimbledon glory (July 2016)
Murray swept to his second Wimbledon title with a 6-4 7-6 (7/3) 7-6 (7/2) victory over first-time finalist Milos Raonic.
Olympic history (August 2016)
After carrying the Great Britain flag at the opening ceremony, Murray became the first tennis player to win two Olympic gold medals in singles with a 7-5 4-6 6-2 7-5 victory over Del Potro.
