My Take
I rate Andy Murray as the most quietly heroic figure of his tennis generation. He had the misfortune of sharing an era with Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, yet still clawed his way to world No. 1 for 41 weeks and won three majors, including that cathartic 2013 Wimbledon. What I love is his honesty — the on-court grumbling, the tears, the refusal to perform false charm. Knighted in 2016, repeatedly injured, repeatedly rebuilt, and now passing his craft on as a coach: Murray's career reads to me like a study in stubbornness, and I mean that as the highest possible compliment.
