BBC1 HD, BBC1 (not Wales): Sunday 23rd June 10:25pm - 11:25pm

Repeat: BBC1 Wales in Sun 23 Jun 10:55pm
Until Andy Murray made that tearful speech at the Wimbledon final 2012, the shy Scot had a dour public image. Those tears finally won over the British public even though the Olympic champion and US Open winner was as private as ever. This film gives us a glimpse of his personal life and, judging by the comments, he’s a joy to be around.


Sue Barker presents a profile of the US Open champion, following the tennis star on and off the court, revealing what it takes to compete at the highest level of the men's game. In addition to looking at some of the preparation, rehabilitation, charity and media work involved, there are contributions from his family, girlfriend, coach Ivan Lendl, celebrity fans and his three main rivals on the ATP tour - Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
