The world tennis star Andrew Murray is only twenty-two years old and has already achieved more than what most professional players will throughout their entire career. This is an impressive status and Murray himself does not seem to be satisfied with the level he has reached. In the last year alone he has made progress on his clay court game, which has always been second to his hard court playing. He has won championships and is recognized throughout the world. Last year, in 2008 he was second to Roger Federer, finishing as the runner up in the US Open.

Murray plays right handed, backhand and two handed and is excellent with aggressive plays as well as swiftrank recovery both on the court and off. He was ranked as number two in the world during the summer of 2009 until he was unable to move beyond the fourth round in the US Open which placed him back to the world ranking of number four. It is through extreme efforts and determination that will improve that status in the future and the discipline to do so is owned by few players. This is in part what the recovery perspective deals with and is part of a continued career high progression.

He won his first major award when he was twelve years old and participated in the Orange Bowl. Winning this prestigious event gained him a high level of respect and attention. He later moved to Barcelona, Spain to study at the Schiller International School. These early years taught Murray his first sacrifice needs regarding choosing such a huge goal and life ambition. Moving away from his family and friend was difficult and so would be the opponents he would come to face on the court throughout his career. Sacrifice, discipline, endurance, and unbelievable hard work are the actual elements behind the perceived glamorous life of this and other sports stars. Murray has what it takes and it will be interesting to watch him throughout his career.
