Andy Murray might have only won two Wimbledon crowns in his career, but he had an excellent record at his home Grand Slam.
The British star picked up 60 victories at the grass court tournament, which equates to an impressive 82% win rate.
Murray won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, and he reached another final in 2012 as well as seven semi-final appearances.
The British star’s Wimbledon career did not start the way he would have liked, and he suffered a humiliating loss in the juniors in 2003.
Andy Murray’s humbling defeat at the Wimbledon juniors
Murray arrived at the Wimbledon juniors event as the number 10 seed, with plenty of British tennis fans hopeful he could win the tournament.
Instead, Murray suffered a difficult straight sets defeat to qualifier Peter Steinberger to crash out of the first round.
Where does Andy Murray rank among the best players in tennis?
After the match, the Scottish teenager was absolutely furious with himself for his performance at his home Grand Slam.
He explained: “I had a bad day. I underestimated my opponent and I was lazy. There’s no excuse. I have to grow up a bit and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Murray did bounce back on the junior circuit by winning the 2004 US Open juniors event at Flushing Meadows.
Andy Murray lived up to his word at Wimbledon
Murray vowed to learn from his first round defeat and he never exited the competition at the stage of the tournament again, even when he graduated to the main draw.
The star’s worst-ever performance in the main draw of Wimbledon was two second-round exits at the end of his career.
Murray lost to John Isner in 2022 after entering the tournament unseeded and he followed it up with a loss against Stefanos Tsitsipas in his final tournament in 2023.
However, even in the twilight of his career, Murray lived up to the promise he made himself after he crashed out of the first round of the juniors in 2003.
