<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.

<h3><strong>Andy Murray: 2021 performance</strong></h3>

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.


<h3>Andy Murray Hip-Replacement Surgery</h3>
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 will retire later that year.

Nevertheless, Murray came back on the ATP Tour from the verge of retirement.

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements 2023 Novak Djokovic Wimbledon 2023 The Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic set out to play a final that the entirety of the world had dreamt of for the past few months. Since the rise of Carlos Alcaraz, everyone wanted to watch a showdown between the two. They eventually met in the final of Wimbledon, which seemed to be in Djokovic&#8217;s favor. After the Serbian won the first set 6-1, he would lose two sets continuously, which made the score 6-1, 6-7(6), 1-6.

In the Italian Open, he reached the quarterfinal but lost to Holger Rune. With the Djoker enduring a slump in form, many didn&#8217;t consider him to be a favorite for the French Open title. To worsen his odds, Nole was suffering from an injury prior to the clay season. But he would prove all of his doubters wrong as he went past each player with ease, only dropping two sets on his way to the final. In the final, he went on to win against Casper Ruud in straight sets. After lifting the trophy, he went one step above Nadal in the all-time grand slam race.

The Serbian ranks 23rd in the Forbes list of the world&#8217;s highest-paid athletes. Novak Djokovic early life Novak Djokovic began playing tennis when he was just four years old. Amidst difficult circumstances growing up, Djokovic still ended up as the best under-14 player from Europe and went on to shine the brightest on the ATP tour. The Serbian won his first Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open as a 21-year-old. Coming to his personal life, Djokovic started dating Jelena Ristic in 2005, and the couple got engaged in 2013. A year later, they got married in &#8216;Sveti Stefan&#8217;, a hotel resort in Montenegro. The couple has two children &#8211; Stefan and Tara Djokovic. His parents are professional skiers, and his?brothers are professional tennis players. All of them are based in Serbia. Novak Djokovic&#8217;s tennis career (2001-2023) Djokovic started out on a successful path by becoming Europe&#8217;s top-ranked under-14 player and was also part of Serbia&#8217;s Junior Davis Cup event. His best record from the junior tour came at the Australian Open, where he reached the semifinals in 2004. Having been considered a player who made regular appearances in the semifinals at slams, Djokovic found his first major title at the 2008 Australian Open. 2011 was the year when the Serbian star truly started his dominance against two of his biggest rivals -?Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Both these opponents frequently met Djokovic and were defeated by the Serb on most occasions. The Serb&#8217;s dominance continued even in 2021, where he won three Grand Slam titles and came close to winning an unprecedented Calendar Slam at the US Open.

He had to withdraw from the Australian Open. He found himself eliminated in the French Open in the quarterfinal. But he would maintain his Wimbledon streak as he won the title against Nick Kyrgios. Following the theme of the first slam, he had to withdraw from the US Open due to vaccination rules.? In 2023, Djokovic would shine even brighter than before. Starting the year with a 10th Australian Open title meant that he now equaled Rafa&#8217;s record. After the event, he would win the French Open for the third time and make it his 23rd grand slam, officially the most in men&#8217;s singles. Unfortunately, he would lose his winning streak in Wimbledon as he lost against Carlos Alcaraz in the final.? Rivalries Over the years, Djokovic had numerous rivalries on-court against top-tier players. But, his match-ups against Federer, Nadal, and Andy Murray always enthralled fans and turned out to be engaging to watch. Out of the three big opponents Djokovic has had over the years, it was his rivalry with Nadal that stands out. The duo played 59 matches against each other on the ATP tour, and Djokovic leads the tally by winning 30 contests.

REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier Their most recent interaction came at the quarterfinals of the 2022 French Open. In an engaging three-set battle, the Spaniard breezed past the Serb and went on to clinch the Roland Garros title. Coming to Djokovic&#8217;s rivalry with Federer, it can be considered one of the most entertaining rivalries on the ATP tour. The duo had numerous close battles, but it is the Serb who takes the pivotal lead once again. Both Federer and Djokovic played 50 times on tour, with Djokovic winning 27 matches. Their most recent contest came in the semifinals of the 2020 Australian Open. Djokovic easily defeated Federer in straight sets. Against Murray, Djokovic had a rather comfortable rivalry as he was clearly the dominating player whenever they entered a tennis court. There were instances where Murray took control, but overall, it was the Serbian star who led the head-to-head with 25 victories compared to Murray&#8217;s 11.

Then in the current French Open, Djokovic got the better of the 2022 US Open champion. Their latest and third meet was in Wimbledon, where Alcaraz bested the legendary Serb in five sets. Legacy Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He has 94 ATP titles and also has the highest Grand Slam count (23) on the ATP tour. He is also the only player in history to win all the Grand Slams at least twice. Shortly after winning his 18th Grand Slam at the Australian Open 2021, Novak Djokovic crossed Roger Federer in the most weeks as the World No.1 record. The 2021 season has been fruitful as well as a successful one for the year-end world number one. Djokovic started the year with his 9th Australian Open title at the 18th Grand Slam of his career.
