Andy Murray became a Wimbledon legend by winning the tournament on two occasions and ending Great Britain’s 77-year wait for a champion.
The Brit won Wimbledon in 2012 and followed it up four years later by claiming his home Grand Slam for a second time.
Murray’s Grand Slam triumphs were even more impressive as he was in competition with three of the best players to ever play the game in Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic.
Despite tasting incredible success at Wimbledon, Murray named two tournaments he preferred to play in 2012.
Andy Murray’s two favourite tennis tournaments
Asked in a BBC Sport Q&A about his favourite tournaments on the ATP Tour, Murray opted for one Grand Slam and one Masters event.
The three-time Grand Slam champion revealed: “I like going to Miami because I have a place there and I’m very familiar with the city.”
Murray lifted the trophy at the Miami Open in 2009 and 2013, beating Djokovic and David Ferrer in the respective finals.

The star also picked the Australian Open as one of his favourite places to play on the hectic ATP Tour calendar.
“I think Melbourne’s a cool place to go as well. The Australian Open is a great event; they love sport there, everything is really close by and convenient, the weather’s really good and the people are nice.”
The Australian Open is known as the Happy Slam and is often warmly regarded by the top players on the Tour.
The 2026 event was arguably the most popular to date, with the Melbourne event breaking multiple attendance records.
Andy Murray’s unfortunate Australian Open record
It’s surprising that Murray would opt for the Australian Open as he faced heartbreak several times at the event.
At the time of his answer, Murray had already lost two Australian Open finals in 2010 and 2011, one of which to Federer and one to Djokovic.

The Scot would go on to lose another three Australian Open finals, in 2013, 2015, and 2016, the latter of which saw him become the first-ever player to lose five finals without winning the event.
Murray met Djokovic in four of his five finals, which is a tournament record, but probably one the British star wants to forget.
The Scottish star ended his career with a 51–16 record at the Australian Grand Slam, which amounted to a 76% win rate.
