2020 was plagued by the coronavirus pandemic, and many players like Novak Djokovic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic] got infected with it. Now, the latest person to be infected [https://twitter.com/MailSport/status/1349656339375648769?s=20] by the virus is British star, Andy Murray [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andy-murray]. How did this happen? Last week, it was reported that a person had tested positive for COVID-19 at the British National Tennis Center. However, at the time, it was said that Murray and other players had escaped [https://inews.co.uk/sport/tennis/andy-murray-covid-19-australian-open-kyle-edmund-injury-823656] from infection. Clearly, that was not the case for Murray since he has now contracted the virus at the worst time possible as the Australian Open is coming up.

(Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) COULD ANDY MURRAY PLAY THE 2020 AUSTRALIAN OPEN? If Andy Murray completes his two-week quarantine at home, it will be safe for him to travel on January 28. Since the Australian Open is beginning on February 8, he could potentially play the event. However, the rules in Melbourne are still not very clear on this. In addition to this, the British star’s health has to be taken into consideration. The infection could very well affect his stamina and make it dangerous for him to play this early. Also, he won’t be able to train as he is being quarantined, and playing a Grand Slam immediately after dealing with this virus is definitely not something that his doctors would advise. Clearly, things are not looking good for Andy Murray with regards to the Australian Open. He is definitely going to try to play there, but if he can’t, he will begin training for other events. There are three other Grand Slam that will happen in 2021 and hopefully, the British star can pick up his first Major for the first time since 2016 at one of them.

<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. They also <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/that-wont-happen-australian-open-2021-proposes-to-relax-strict-quarantine-measures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">plan</a> on introducing relaxations on a lot of the quarantine restrictions the players had in Paris and New York.

While the 14-day quarantine will be there on arrival at Melbourne Park, there is expected to be some freedom for players and their team members.

Australian Open 2021 is expected to be held from January 18-31, 2021.

<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. Forbes also featured him in their â€˜30 Under 30-Europe-Hollywood &amp; Entertainmentâ€™ list in 2016, and the â€™30 Under 30-Sportsâ€™ list in 2014. According toÂ <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-tennis/andy-murray-net-worth/">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, Murray is worth an estimated $100 million (Â£81.35 million).
<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. Murray's otherÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.andymurray.com/profile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partners</a> include UnderÂ Armour, Standard Life, Head, and Rado.
<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>
Andy Murray turned pro in 2005, and despite suffering from multiple injuries, he is backed by brilliant stats. With 6437 aces, Murray has won on his first serve 74% of the time. Facing 5815 break points, Murray has saved 62% of those. Additionally, the British tennis star has won two Wimbledon titles (2013 and 2016) and one US Open title in 2012.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Andy Murray's records</b></h2>
Andy Murray has been the runner-up in the Australian Open on four occasions, that is- 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016. He has also been a runner-up at the French Open in 2016. 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 has been the youngest Briton to take part in the Davis Cup before becoming a Davis Cup winner in 2015. Murray also became the first British male to win multiple Wimbledon singles titles since Fred Perry (in 2013 &amp; again in 2016). 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>
In terms of performance, while he may not be as decorated as the rest of the Big Four, Murray's stats are still impressive. The British star has claimed three Grand Slam titles and 43 ATP titles. He has also bagged two Olympic Gold Medals (men's singles) and an Olympic Silver (mixed doubles).

Coming back to his Grand Slam wins, he won the 2012 US Open. Murray also clinched two Wimbledon Championships in 2013 and 2016. He also became the World No.1 in November 2016 and won the ATP Finals in 2016.

In 2022, Andy Murray was named the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award recipient in recognition of his support for the humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Apart from all the accolades that he achieved through his tennis performances, this achievement is something special.
<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. Additionally, Murray was one of the firstÂ owners of the British carmaker's all-electric performance SUVs.

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.
