Andy Murray has won the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award for the second time after donating £630,000 in prize money to Ukraine.
The former world No 1 announced the gesture in March, less than a month after Russia's harrowing invasion of the country began. The three-time Grand Slam champion admitted he found the images of families struggling "devastating," and that the opportunity to help was extra motivation on court.
Murray, who has overcome severe injury problems to prolong his pro career, said: “Shortly after I decided that from Indian Wells onwards, I would donate my prize money for the rest of the season to UNICEF’s humanitarian response – the final total was just over £630,000. It seemed like something that would give me some extra motivation this year."
