Former World No. 1 Andy Murray [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andy-murray/] has enjoyed tremendous success over the years. The Scot is one of the best tennis players and has raised the bar for British tennis players. Andy won the US Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/us-open/] in 2012, the first British player to win a major after 76 years. Thereafter, he went on to win two Grand Slams at Wimbledon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/wimbledon-championships/] in 2013 and 2016 respectively. The ship was sailing smoothly for Andy until 2017 when his form took a dip and suffered a hip injury. The 33-year-old had to undergo surgery and has not been the same player he once was.

(Photo by Michael Dodge/Getty Images) With the new season soon going to begin, Andy was granted a wildcard for the Australian Open. However, much to his adversity, he got infected with the COVID-19 virus. Due to this latest development, it makes it close to impossible for the Scot to make it in time for the first major of the season. The Victorian health minister Martin Foley issued a statement that hinted the former World No. 1 shouldn’t expect special aid in this matter. He said [https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7086806/no-special-aust-open-favours-for-murray/?cs=14686], “In regards to Mr. Murray, we’ve been clear from the start that anyone who tests positive is not able to be part of the program coming into Melbourne and Australia.” Also Read: WATCH: Elina Svitolina Innovatively Quarantines With Gael Monfils at Australian Open 2021 Bubble [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-news-wta-watch-elina-svitolina-innovatively-quarantines-with-gael-monfils-at-australian-open-2021-bubble/] “Mr. Murray, and the other 1240 people as part of the program, need to demonstrate that if they’re coming to Melbourne they have returned a negative test. So should Mr. Murray arrive, and I have no indication that he will, he will be subject to those same rigorous arrangements as everyone else. Should he test positive prior to his attempts to come to Australia, he will be refused.” The developments in the next coming days will be crucial for the 3-Time Grand Slam winner. Although it seems impossible for him to make it in time, one cannot rule out the small possibility of him being available for the Australian Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/] 2021.

<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.

<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.

In May 2019, he received the 'Knighthood' at Buckingham Palace.
<h3><strong>Andy Murray: 2021 performance</strong></h3>
Murray was out of the 2021 ATP season for long owing to a groin injury. The former world no.1 made his comeback during the latter end of the season and produced great performances against the likes of next gen stars and improved his ranking.
<h3><strong>Andy Murray?</strong><b>Achievements</b></h3>
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.


<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.
