At the 2012 US Open, Murray became the first British player since 1977, and the first British man since 1936, to win a Grand Slam singles tournament, when he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final. In July 2013, Murray won the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, becoming the first British player to win a Wimbledon senior singles title since Virginia Wade in 1977, and the first British man to win the men's singles title since Fred Perry, 77 years previously.
Murray is the 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medalist, defeating Roger Federer in the 2012 final and Juan Martín del Potro in the 2016 final. He is the only tennis player, male or female, to have won two Olympic singles titles. Following his first Wimbledon title in 2013, Murray was voted the 2013 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. In 2016 he won his second Wimbledon title to become the first British man to win multiple Wimbledon singles titles since Perry in 1935.
He featured in Great Britain's Davis Cup winning team in 2015, winning 11 matches (8 singles and 3 doubles) as they secured their first Davis Cup title since 1936. He partnered his older brother, Jamie, in the doubles. In 2015 Murray was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year for a second time, while the Davis Cup team won the BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year Award.
