An inspiring story of family, ambition and sport against all odds from the woman who single-handedly revolutionised British tennis
Judy Murray is a former Scottish international tennis player with 64 national titles to her name. She became Scottish National Coach in 1995, the same year that she became the first woman to pass the Lawn Tennis Association's Performance Coach Award. She initiated the Scottish Development School programme which ultimately produced four Davis Cup players and one Fed Cup player, including her Grand-Slam-winning sons, Jamie and Andy.
This truly is the inside story of Andy and Jamie's remarkable rise.
