Andy Murray, one of the most accomplished players in the history of tennis, is celebrating his 33rd birthday today. In honor of that, here are 33 things to know about his legendary career.

He’s a three-time Grand Slam champion. Murray won his first career Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2012, and his next two majors both came on home soil at Wimbledon, in 2013 and 2016.

He’s the only British man to win a major in the last 83 years. Before Murray, the last British man to win a Grand Slam title was Fred Perry, who won the last of his eight majors at the 1936 US Open.

He’s been to another eight Grand Slam finals. In addition to his three majors, the Brit has been a runner-up eight times—five times at the Australian Open and once each at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open. Three of those runner-up finishes came to Roger Federer, five to Novak Djokovic.

He’s one of only 10 men in the Open Era to reach the final of all four majors. By reaching his first French Open final in 2016, Murray joined Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg, Jim Courier, Andre Agassi, Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic in that exclusive 10-man club.

Only Nadal and Djokovic have won more majors than him in the last 7.5 years. Since Murray won the first of his three majors at the 2012 US Open, he’s tied with Federer (3) and Wawrinka (3) for third-most majors. Meanwhile, Nadal has won eight majors in that span, and Djokovic 12.

He’s the only man in the Open Era to win his first major then reach the final of the next major. After winning his first major at the 2012 US Open, he reached the final of the 2013 Australian Open.

He’s a former No. 1. Murray got to the top of the rankings for the first time on November 7, 2016, and spent 41 career weeks there—all consecutively—until Nadal replaced him on August 21, 2017.

He’s the only man other than the Big 3 to be No. 1 since February 2004. That's since Federer first reached No. 1 on February 2, 2004.

He’s the only man other than the Big 3 to be in the Top 2 since July 2005. That's since Nadal first joined Federer in the Top 2 on July 25, 2005.

He had the longest wait between No. 2 and No. 1 in ATP history. The Glasgow native first rose to No. 2 on August 17, 2009 and got to No. 1 on November 7, 2016—exactly seven years and 82 days later.

He was also the second-oldest first-time No. 1 in ATP history. At age 29, he was the second-oldest player to ascend to No. 1 on the ATP rankings, after a 30-year-old John Newcombe in 1974.

He was the first British No. 1. Murray is the only Brit, male or female, ever to reach No. 1 in singles. His brother, Jamie, is the only British player to do it in doubles, achieving that feat on April 4, 2016.

He’s the only Brit to finish in the year-end Top 4 on the ATP rankings. And he’s done it eight times: No. 1 in 2016, No. 2 in 2015, No. 3 in 2012 and No. 4 in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013.

He has 12 career wins over No. 1s. Three against Nadal (all on hard); four against Federer (three on hard, one on grass); and five against Djokovic (three on hard, one on grass and one on clay).

He’s the only player to have at least seven wins against each of the Big 3. Murray’s a combined 29-56 against the Big 3, going 11-14 against Federer, 7-17 against Nadal and 11-25 against Djokovic.

He’s an ATP Finals champion. Murray's first tournament as No. 1 was the season-ending ATP Finals in 2016 and he didn’t lose a match all week, including wins over every other member of the Top 5—No. 5 Kei Nishikori, No. 4 Milos Raonic, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka and No. 2 Novak Djokovic. His 6-3, 6-4 victory against Djokovic in the final is what clinched him the year-end No. 1 ranking in 2016.

He’s a 14-time Masters 1000 champion. The father of three has won seven of the nine Masters 1000s, missing only Indian Wells, where he’s a former finalist; and Monte Carlo, where he’s a three-time semifinalist.

He’s the only player ever, male or female, to win two Olympic gold medals in singles. Murray conquered London in 2012 and in Rio in 2016. The rest of the Big 3 have one gold medal in singles between them—Nadal won his in Beijing in 2008. Federer and Djokovic are still seeking their first.

He also has an Olympic silver medal in mixed doubles. The Brit reached the final of the mixed doubles in London in 2012 alongside Laura Robson, falling to Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka.

He has the fourth-most ATP titles among active players. With 46, Murray trails only Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, who have 103, 85 and 79, respectively. He is 46-22 in ATP finals, or .676.

He’s won ATP titles in his teens, 20s and 30s. Murray won his first two titles as a teenager, both at San Jose in 2016 and 2017, and then another 43 titles in his 20s. He’s won one ATP title so far in his 30s, conquering Antwerp last fall—his first ATP title in over two and a half years.

He has three ATP doubles titles, too. And they’re all from 500-level events—Valencia in 2010 and Tokyo in 2011 alongside his brother, Jamie, and Queen’s Club in 2019 with Feliciano Lopez.

He was part of the Davis Cup-winning British team in 2015. Murray scored three points—two in singles and one in doubles with brother Jamie—en route to their 3-1 championship win over Belgium.

He has the fourth-most tour-level match wins among active players. Murray has a career win-loss record of 673-196, trailing only Federer (1,242-271), Nadal (990-200) and Djokovic (911-187).

His best surface by winning percentage is grass. He’s 107-21 on grass, a .836 winning percentage. Meanwhile, he’s 459-129 on hard courts (.781) and 107-46 on clay (.699).

He’s also won more than two thirds of the deciding sets he’s ever played. Murray is 158-71 in his career in deciding sets, or .690. Broken down, that’s 23-12 in fifth sets and 135-59 in third sets.

Righty or lefty? Doesn’t really matter. The Brit is equally good against both types of player in his career, going 585-171 against right-handers (.774) and 85-25 against left-handers (.773).

He was one of only two players to beat Federer in one of Federer’s best years. The Swiss went 92-5 in 2006, with four of those losses coming to Nadal and one loss to Murray in Cincinnati. Federer won at least one set in all of his losses to Nadal, though—he lost to Murray in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4.

He has the fourth-most career prize money in ATP history. With $61,544,007, Murray only trails the Big 3—Djokovic has $143,631,560, Federer has $129,946,683 and Nadal has $120,955,904.

He was a Grand Slam winner in the juniors, too. Murray won the 2004 US Open boys’ title, beating Juan Martin del Potro and Sam Querrey en route to the final, then Sergiy Stakhovsky for the title.

He’s a knight. Murray was knighted by Prince Charles in 2019, and can be called “Sir Andy Murray” now. He’s the second tennis player to be knighted, after Sir Norman Brookes in 1939, from Australia.

He’s the first three-time winner of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He received the honor in 2013, 2015 and 2016. He was also named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2004.

He hasn’t played in 2020 yet. After a fairytale finish to 2019, winning Antwerp for his first ATP title since his hip surgeries, he missed the start of 2020 with a pelvic injury. Then came the pandemic.
