Book excerpt: The Wimbledon champion's early life in his own words 'With Andy, the sky's the limit...' John McEnroe At Wimbledon 2005, Andy Murray announced himself on the tennis world stage by thrashing star pros George Bastl and Radek Stepanek: a legend was born and Britain had a new sporting hero. From there, Andy's rise to the top has been unstoppable: from winning his first ATP title at San Jose in 2006 and deposing Tim Henman to become British Number 1, to beating a host of former and current World no. 1s - including Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal - Murray has gone from strength to strength. With his triumphant win at Queen's in June 2009, a storming performance at Wimbledon 2009 - which saw Andy reach the semi-finals for the first time - and his crowning as World Number 2, we have seen Murray reach even greater heights. But Murray is much more than a truly gifted tennis player: he has changed the face of the British game. His grit, passion and success on court, combined with his ranking as one of the world's best players, has reignited Britain's love of tennis and inspired a whole new generation of kids to become tennis fans. Here, in his updated story, Andy regales us with the highs and the lows, the triumphs and the near misses to show us just how far the boy from Dunblane has come.

When Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal both exited in the first few days of Wimbledon 2013, the level of expectation on Andy Murray to become the first British champion of the men's competition since 1936 rose to new heights.

Andy Murray, the eighteen-year-old wild card from the small town of Dunblane in Scotland, confounded all expectations to make it through to the third round of the sport's most venerated tournament before being knocked out in a five-set defeat against eleventh seed David Nalbandian.Not since the great Fred Perry, who dominated tennis in the 1930s, has Britain produced a player as good as Murray at such a young age. His courage and lack of humility when facing the biggest names in the game has captured the imagination of the public and the media, and he is widely viewed as one of the most exciting prospects in the sport today.In 1996, at the age of eight, Murray survived the massacre at Dunblane Primary School, when gunman Thomas Hamilton killed sixteen pupils and a teacher in the worst incident of its kind in British history. He is understandably reluctant to talk about the tragedy but has been quoted as saying: 'Sometimes I wonder if it shaped me in some way, helped to make me the person I am, more determined to do something with my life. Certainly I hope I can do something for Dunblane. I hope I can make the town famous for something else.'It is an ambition that he is well on the way to fulfilling after all his years of toil at the local tennis courts with his mother, Judy, the Scottish national coach. Following his recent defeat of British No. 1 Tim Henman at the Davidoff Indoor Championship in Basel, Switzerland, there has been much talk of Henman's torch being passed on to the young Scot.
