<h3><strong>Andy Murray 2022: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Scottish tennis star Andy Murray is widely regarded as the unofficial fourth member of the 'Big Four'. While the likes of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/">Roger Federer</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a>, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> have amassed relatively more accolades, the Briton is an excellent player in his own right.
<h3>Early and Personal Life</h3>
Born to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-mother/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Judy Murray</a> (n?e 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 href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-brother/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jamie Murray</a>.

After dating for almost 10 years, Murray married his long-time girlfriend <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-wife/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kim Sears</a>. After their marriage, the couple gave birth to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/who-is-andy-murrays-wife/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a son and two daughters</a>.

In 2016, Murray was at the peak of his powers, having won the Wimbledon title, his second Olympic gold medal at the Rio Olympics, and regaining the world number one ranking.

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.

Murray played hardly 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 Australian Open 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.
