"I will work hard to preserve their legacy" says Judy Murray on sons Andy & Jamie Murray

Andy is the more successful one achieving the bulk of his success on the singles tour while Jamie mostly played doubles. Their mother Judy Murray was deeply involved from the start of their careers and she has admitted that preserving their tennis legacy is of her main objectives. In a recent interview, she spoke of her determination to preserve their legacy.

The Scottish Government this week gave the go-ahead for her controversial “grassroots tennis and golf destination” on Park of Keir, south of Dunblane and north west of Bridge of Allan – nearly eight years after Murray, Scotland’s former national coach, drew up plans. Speaking exclusively to Scotland on Sunday, Murray, 62, said she was “excited” and motivated by the support she had received in the community and “beyond”.

She said:

"Our aim is to create an outstanding family-focused community hub for sport and leisure that has tennis at the heart of it. It will be a centre of national significance for our sport and a bricks and mortar legacy for what Jamie and Andy have achieved, but its focus is to inspire and encourage many more people from all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to get up, get out and get active. That can only be a good thing, especially as we begin to emerge from the pandemic and think about how best to rebuild and become a happier, healthier nation."
