Former World No.1 Andy Murray [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andy-murray/] has received [https://twitter.com/Mike_Dickson_DM/status/1343165136010440710] a wildcard and now will directly qualify for the main draw of the Australian Open 2021. The Brit will return to the event after having skipped it in 2020. His 122nd ATP ranking meant that he would have needed to play the qualifying rounds or receive a wildcard to play the Aussie Open. A few days back, Murray missed the deadline [https://www.essentiallysports.com/andy-murray-fails-to-qualify-for-australian-open-2021-could-receive-a-wildcard-atp-tennis-news/] for playing the qualifying rounds. But everyone will be able to catch him in action early on as Murray received [https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-andy-murray-to-return-in-action-at-delray-beach-open-ahead-of-australian-open-2021/] another wildcard for the ATP 250 tournament in Delray Beach.

(Photo by Scott Barbour/Getty Images) THE LAST TIME ANDY MURRAY PLAYED THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN The three-time Grand Slam champion will be seen playing at the Australian Open for the first time since the marathon first-round match he lost in 2019. In 2019, Murray had played his first-round against Roberto Bautista Agut and lost the five-setter. But following that match, an emotional Andy had announced that he might retire from tennis as his hip gave up. Since his hip surgeries in 2018, Murray has suffered a lot and thus lost his old agility and strength. It is a superhuman feat that he was even able to play again after that, as doctors had no hope of a return. But now, Murray is again raring to go and has put a hold on his retirement.

He played the US Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/us-open/] through his rankings. He finally won [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-news-atp-amazing-andy-murray-survives-mto-and-5-sets-to-beat-yoshihito-nishioka-at-us-open-2020/] a Grand Slam match after two years as he advanced to the second round there. Later, he received a wildcard [https://www.essentiallysports.com/andy-murray-earns-a-spot-in-the-main-draw-of-french-open-2020-atp-tennis-news/] to participate in the French Open 2020. The French Open wildcard was a controversial decision. Tennis legend Mats Wilander had accused [https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-giving-us-a-false-sense-of-hope-former-grand-slam-champion-disappointed-with-andy-murray-mats-wilander/] Murray of taking away opportunities from youngsters. Murray had a rough outing [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-news-atp-stan-wawrinka-steam-rolls-over-andy-murray-at-french-open-2020/] as he lost to Stan Wawrinka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stan-wawrinka/] in the first round. But it can’t be denied that Murray still holds a huge stand in the tennis world, and his presence at the grandest stage after all the hardships is a testament to that.

<h2><strong>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</strong></h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.

<h2><strong>Records</strong></h2>
<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> is the most successful player of the Australian Open in the Open era. The Serbian star has clinched eight Australian Open titles.

In the women's side of the game, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/serena-williams/">Serena Williams</a> is the most successful player with seven titles to her credit. Again, this was set in the Open era. Overall, Williams is still four behind tennis legend Margaret Court.

The youngest winner in the men's singles game was Australian player Ken Rosewall. Meanwhile, on the women's side, it was Martina Hingis. The players were 18 years, 2 months and 16 years, 4 months old respectively.

With regard to the oldest players, Rosewall bagged this crown at the aged 37 years and 2 months. However, if <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/">Roger Federer</a> wins the Australian Open, he could overtake Rosewall. In the women's side of the game, Thelma Long was the oldest winner at 35 years and 8 months.
<h2>Australian Open 2021 Plans</h2>
The two Grand Slams held after the Australian Open 2020 saw major changes than usual.

The US Open 2020 was held behind closed doors, while the French Open 2020 saw just 1000 spectators allowed inside the Roland Garros fields.

Australian Open organizers are planning to allow 50 percent of the seats to be filled by fans. This is subject to government clearance.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Andy Murray 2024</strong><strong>: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Andy Murray?</strong></h2>
British tennis star Andy Murray is widely regarded as the unofficial fourth member of the 'Big Four'. While the likes of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Roger Federer</a>,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rafael Nadal</a>, andÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Novak Djokovic</a> have amassed relatively more accolades, the Briton is an excellent player in his own right.

Currently ranked 50 in ATP singles, Andy Murray once showcased a lot of promise. However, injuries played a huge role in slowing him down. Although many fans and experts have talked about Murray's retirement, the player himself wants to keep competing.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murrayâ€™s early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-mother/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Judy Murray</a> (now Erskine) and William Murray in Scotland, Andy's parents split up when he was just 10 years old. Later, his mother Judy coached him and his brother <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-brother/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jamie Murray</a>.

In 2016, Murray was at the peak of his performance, having won the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/wimbledon-championships/">Wimbledon</a> title, his second Olympic gold medal at the Rio Olympics, and regaining the world number one ranking. Murray also received the 'Knighthood' at Buckingham Palace in the same year. The following year saw him suffer as a result of multiple injuries that halted his progress when he was at his best. He missed many tournaments in 2017, ultimately falling outside the top 10 in the rankings.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murrayâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
After dating for almost 10 years, Murray married his long-time girlfriendÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-wife/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Kim Sears</a>. After their marriage, the couple gave birth to four children, namely Sophia, Edie, Teddy, and Lola, who was born in March 2021. Sears is often spotted hearing for her husband in the Wimbledon Championships.

Murray met Sears for the first time in 2005 at a party for the US Open. Their affection for each other grew rapidly, however, they were able to keep things quiet for a while. They got married on 11th April 2015 at Dunblane Cathedral.

Interestingly, Murray's eldest daughter, Sophia, has shown a lot of interest in sports. Talking about Sophia's sporting activities, <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/healthandbeauty/mother-and-baby/20220703144200/andy-murray-family-revealed-wife-kim-sears-and-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Murray said</a>,<em> "My eldest daughter plays tennis once a week and if she wanted to I'd be happy â€“ but at their ages, it's important to be doing stuff with their friends." </em>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murrayâ€™s net worth 2024</b></h2>
At the age of 36, Andy Murray's prize money stands at $14.8M, while an additional $14M comes from his endorsements. Murray was featured inÂ <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/andy-murray/?sh=cfb93039e63b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Forbes</a>â€™ list of TheÂ <a href="https://www.augustman.com/in/entertainment/culture/living/highest-paid-athletes-of-2023-as-per-forbes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Worldâ€™s Highest-Paid Athletes</a> in 2017, where he was on the 40th spot.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murrayâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Andy Murray started as a pure tennis prodigy, competing against seasoned players without breaking a sweat. His first significant title came at the junior US Open in 2004, and he entered the top 10 in April 2007. From here, it took him two more years to enter the top 4.

The Big 3 monopolized the Grand Slam glory at that time, and Murray lost 4 Grand Slam finals between 2008 and 2012. Murrayâ€™s breakthrough came in August 2012 when he defeated Federer on Wimbledonâ€™s center court to win the menâ€™s singles gold medal at the <span id="ref1219035"></span>London Olympic Games.
<p class="jsx-842579901 jsx-1572039"><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-havent-felt-good-about-my-game-andy-murray-makes-concerning-admission-after-paris-masters-debacle/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">â€˜Havenâ€™t Felt Good About My Gameâ€™- Andy Murray Makes Concerning Admission After Paris Masters Debacle</a></p>
Murray struggled with his hip injury in 2017. Additionally, he could hardly play any matches in 2018 and eventually underwent hip surgery and further rehabilitation for the injury. As a result, he fell outside the top 800 in the rankings.

In early 2019, Murray announced he might not return to professional tennis due to numerous injury problems and that the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/">Australian Open</a> could be his final event. However, he underwent a second hip surgery midway through the year, which worked wonders for him.

After the surgery and rehab, he made a winning return to the doubles domain of tennis at Queens' Club where he partnered with Feliciano Lopez.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Andy Murray's hip replacement surgery</h2>
Murray was experiencing excruciating pain for many years. He revealed that he struggled to even put on his socks and walk the dogs. Consequently, he decided to undergo arthroscopic hip surgery in January 2019. However, it was difficult for him to make a comeback on the professional tour. Consequently, he announced during the Australian Open 2019 that he would retire later that year. Nevertheless, Murray came back on the ATP Tour from the verge of retirement, and he wants to continue playing.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murrayâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Murray has inked numerous endorsement deals with Standard Life, Head, and Rado. In 2016, he penned a deal with British car manufacturing giant Jaguar. In 2019, he signed with the tennis apparel brand Castore and also uses their apparel.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Andy Murray's charity work and foundation</strong></h2>
In March 2022, Andy Murray decided to donate his entire prize money from the rest of the year to Ukraine to help them out with urgent medical supplies and educational tools. By the end of the year, the amount had reached over Â£500,000.

According to the <a href="https://www.unicef.org.uk/celebrity-supporters/andy-murray/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website of UNICEF</a>-<em> "In June 2015 Sir Andy starred in a series of comedy tennis sketches for UNICEF UKâ€™s #BeatDisease appeal, raising awareness and vital funds to keep children safe from disease."Â </em>Interestingly, he appeared in these sketches with renowned people like Liam Payne from One Direction, television presenter Clare Balding, and comedians Jack Whitehall and Richard Ayoade.

Additionally, did you know that in 2015, as a newly appointed WWF ambassador, Andy Murray displayed his love for our planet by supporting Earth Hour? <a href="https://tfn.scot/lists/hes-the-tennis-worlds-no-1-but-hes-still-got-time-for-charity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He said,</a> <em>â€œWWFâ€™s Earth Hour is a simple, but powerful idea. Itâ€™s a global moment to show we care about our brilliant planet, and want to protect the amazing people and wildlife that depend on it.â€</em>

Andy has pledged his support to charities like Comic Relief, Make-A-Wish Foundation, (RED), Sport Relief, and others. Comic Relief aids homeless and needy people, especially in terms of disaster relief.

Make-A-Wish Foundation helps children with terminal illnesses fulfill any dream of theirs. (RED) helps out by donating money to African people affected by HIV/AIDS.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Andy Murrayâ€™s career stats</b></h2>

However, he did win 3 Grand Slam titles till now. Apart from the stage of the Grand Slams, Murray holds <a href="https://www.lta.org.uk/fan-zone/british-tennis-players/andy-murray/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many good records</a>.

Murray's recent best is his victory against Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in the first round at the Australian Open.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murrayâ€™s major achievements and awards</b></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murray's car collection</b></h2>
Andy Murray has seen enough success on the court, and with such success, came a lot of money. However, he has still held on to his <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/21123562/andy-murrays-impressive-car-collection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-ever car</a>- Volkswagen Polo. Even though his wife has advised him to scrap the 14-year-old car, Murray has never listened to her. Apart from the Polo, Murray has a red Ferrari 430, Aston Martin DB9, BMW i8, and Jaguar XKR.

Andy Murray 2024: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements Who is Andy Murray? British tennis star Andy Murray is widely regarded as the unofficial fourth member of the &#8216;Big Four&#8217;. While the likes of Roger Federer,Â Rafael Nadal, andÂ Novak Djokovic have amassed relatively more accolades, the Briton is an excellent player in his own right. Currently ranked 50 in ATP singles, Andy Murray once showcased a lot of promise. However, injuries played a huge role in slowing him down. Although many fans and experts have talked about Murray&#8217;s retirement, the player himself wants to keep competing. Andy Murrayâ€™s early lifeÂ  Born toÂ Judy Murray (now Erskine) and William Murray in Scotland, Andy&#8217;s parents split up when he was just 10 years old. Later, his mother Judy coached him and his brother Jamie Murray. In 2016, Murray was at the peak of his performance, having won the Wimbledon title, his second Olympic gold medal at the Rio Olympics, and regaining the world number one ranking. Murray also received the &#8216;Knighthood&#8217; at Buckingham Palace in the same year. The following year saw him suffer as a result of multiple injuries that halted his progress when he was at his best. He missed many tournaments in 2017, ultimately falling outside the top 10 in the rankings. Andy Murrayâ€™s wife and children After dating for almost 10 years, Murray married his long-time girlfriendÂ Kim Sears. After their marriage, the couple gave birth to four children, namely Sophia, Edie, Teddy, and Lola, who was born in March 2021. Sears is often spotted hearing for her husband in the Wimbledon Championships.

Their affection for each other grew rapidly, however, they were able to keep things quiet for a while. They got married on 11th April 2015 at Dunblane Cathedral. Interestingly, Murray&#8217;s eldest daughter, Sophia, has shown a lot of interest in sports. Talking about Sophia&#8217;s sporting activities, Murray said, &#8220;My eldest daughter plays tennis once a week and if she wanted to I&#8217;d be happy â€“ but at their ages, it&#8217;s important to be doing stuff with their friends.&#8221; Not Always Funâ€™â€“ After a Thrilling US Open Win, Andy Murray Dishes Out Hilarious Fatherhood Take to Tickle the Crowdâ€™s Funny Bone Andy Murrayâ€™s net worth 2024 At the age of 36, Andy Murray&#8217;s prize money stands at $14.8M, while an additional $14M comes from his endorsements.
