The only place where he hadn't achieved this was Indian Wells, breaking that curse with his victory against Fils. Only the Big 3 and Andy Murray had accomplished this before.

In 2012, possibly, was one of the best years of Andy Murray's career. That season, the Scottish player secured his first Grand Slam title at the US Open, won the gold at the 2012 London Olympics, and reached the final at Wimbledon, where he was defeated by Roger Federer, but later avenged that loss in the Olympic final. In an interview with Stephen Hendry Cue Tips, Murray had to choose between these achievements, and the Briton didn't hesitate.

"Without a doubt, the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics at Wimbledon. In my career, I played 15 or 16 Wimbledons, but in the Olympic Games, you have very few opportunities, and you will never have another chance at home either. It's a completely different environment throughout the city. Everyone is very supportive, there were flags everywhere, a totally different audience than usual because the tickets were for the general public, not just for big companies. What a noise!" the winner of three Grand Slams concluded.

Andy Murray is one of the few tennis players in the history of the sport who can say he competed head-to-head with the 'Big Three' at their best. In a recent interview, another legend like André Agassi has called for respect for the British player. "I think he's part of the 'Big Four'. He reached world number one, won several Grand Slams, and defeated at least two of the three to win his Grand Slams," said the former world number one, who believes that in another era, Murray would have won many more titles.

The journey of Andy Murray as the coach of Novak Djokovic didn't end up being too long, but it was filled with memorable moments and images that took us back to other times. Note, however, that many anecdotes took place in private... and it is now the Scotsman who, with the perspective that time gives, fondly remembers them. In his last chat with The Tennis Podcast, he confessed amidst laughter that his first training session with the Serbian, now as his coach, was a real nightmare: he started running alongside Novak... and began to feel cramps after five minutes.

"I couldn't say anything because after four or five minutes, it was absolutely embarrassing. Well, I finished, completed the 50 minutes, but I felt an incredible pain. I told his team they had to help me, that I'd been running for 45 minutes and had cramps in my left calf. At that moment, I felt like I couldn't stop, I didn't want to show it, something like: 'Oh, God, I've competed against this person so many times and here I am, cramped up after 5 minutes of running with him.' I had no choice but to overcome it, but it was quite an embarrassing moment for me,", Andy pointed out, recalling with irony his early days with the Serbian.

Several years have passed, and an anecdote related to Andy Murray has come to light. It involves Larry Stefanki, who admits to rejecting the British player: "He was too weak and too young, and I didn't like all the baggage I knew would come with the position, but I always had the certainty he would be a top 10 player. He was a kid back then, now he's a man," said the American, as reported by tennishead.
