Andy Murray promotes his new memoir about winning the 2013 Wimbledon Championships.
Andy Murray's historic Wimbledon victory was the most talked-about subject of 2013 among British Facebook users, outshining the birth of a future King, the appointment of a new Pope and the passing of an iconic Prime Minister. Murray's three-set win over Novak Djokovic ended Great Britain's 77-year wait for a male Grand Slam Champion and captivated the nation. The Scot appeared on the front page of every major British newspaper following the feat and sparked social media conversations that eclipsed even the passing of prime minister Margaret Thatcher and the birth of Prince George. The current world No. 4 has not played since September, winning both his singles rubbers in a Davis Cup tie against Croatia before undergoing back surgery. The 26-year-old has been keeping busy with rehab and promoting the release of his memoir ' Andy Murray: Seventy-seven: My Road to Wimbledon Glory'. Murray hopes for a return to the ATP World Tour in time for next month's Australian Open. 'I want to come back when I'm 100 per cent fit,' he told ATPWorldTour.com in October.
