Judy Murray explains how ‘feeling trapped’ as a mother inadvertently led to son Andy’s tennis career

Andy Murray’s mother Judy has revealed how a “very hard” experience as a new parent led to hobbies that would eventually propel her son to international fame and stardom.

Judy, now 65, is credited with training, developing, and supporting the tennis champion from his early childhood, as well as his brother Jamie, who won seven Grand Slam titles as a doubles player. However, the road to success was not smooth for the dedicated mother-of-two, who turned down a tennis scholarship of her own as a young woman.
