Andy Murray had an incredible tennis career littered with a glittering array of accolades, but a surprise trophy made him more emotional than his Grand Slam victories or his Olympic medals.
Murray was a beacon of British tennis for over a decade, winning three Grand Slams, two Olympic Gold Medals, and 46 career titles.
The star, who retired in 2024 after the Paris Olympics, also reached World No. 1 status in 2016, above the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
Despite his immense accolades, Murray was clear about which one made him the ‘most emotional’ in his career.
Andy Murray said Britain’s 2015 Davis Cup was ‘most emotional’ win
At the height of his powers, Murray dragged Team GB all the way to Davis Cup success after a 79-year drought.
Murray starred as Great Britain defeated the United States of America, France, and Australia, before overcoming Belgium in the final.
In the final, Murray defeated Ruben Bemelmans and David Goffin in the singles action, as well as teaming with his brother Jamie to topple Goffin and Steve Darcis to bring the trophy home.
In his post-match interview, Murray described the win as his ‘most emotional’ yet, despite already having two Grand Slams and a gold medal to his name.
“It’s obviously an amazing feeling,” said Murray on the court after the victory. “I imagine it will take a few days before it really sinks in. But I probably haven’t been as emotional as this after a match that I’ve won.”
“I’ve been pretty upset having lost matches before, but I’d say that’s probably the most emotional I’ve been after a win,” he explained.
Great Britain’s team in the final also featured Kyle Edmund, who lost his singles match with Goffin in the opening bout.
Andy Murray was pivotal to Great Britain’s Davis Cup success
Murray was determined to lift the Davis Cup trophy in 2015 and dragged his side to victory by breaking some incredible records.
The British star contributed 11 of Britain’s 12 winning rubbers in the 2015 Davis Cup, which was the most wins in the tournament for a decade.
Murray won eight singles matches without defeat during the campaign, all of which were live rubbers with the tie still on the line.
The Scotsman also became the first player since Pete Sampras in 1995 to win three live rubbers in the final.
