When he won gold at Rio 2016, a reporter praised him for becoming “the first person to ever win two Olympic tennis gold medals”. Murray corrected and reminded the reporter that sisters Serena Williams and Venus Williams had in fact won four gold medals each.
At a Wimbledon press conference the following year, a journalist stated that a tennis player had become “the first US player to reach a major semi-final since 2009”. Murray corrected the reporter by clarifying, “male player”, so as not to discredit his female counterparts who had achieved the very feat.
That is what Murray has consistently done throughout his career, something that deserves plaudits and that should be followed by everyone in sport. He has been a model example, both as a tennis player and as a person.
When Murray walks out onto the Court Suzanne-Lenglen at Roland Garros, it may well be his last dance in the City of Lights. But while he is to retire from tennis at the end of Paris 2024, his legacy will mean that we will always celebrate the name Andy Murray.
