Honouring the Achievements of Sir Andy Murray
The motion
That the Parliament offers its thanks to Sir Andy Murray on his retirement from tennis; congratulates what it sees as his unprecedented career record, which includes 1,001 singles matches, 739 victories, 105 top 10 wins, 46 ATP titles, 41 weeks as world number one, 29 wins over the “Big 3", 14 Masters 1000 titles, 11 Grand Slam finals, three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals; believes that, not only was Sir Andy Murray a champion on the court, he was also a supportive influence to young players off the court and one of the leading supporters of pay equality for women in tennis, and calls on the Scottish Government to mark the career of Sir Andy Murray and the positive impact that it believes he has had on Scottish society by bringing forward a suitable proposal to the Scottish Parliament to honour his achievements and legacy.
