Andy Murray shares touching moment with mother Judy after making Challenger history
Andy Murray broke the record for the most time between Challenger title victories as he picked up the trophy in Aix-en-Provence.
Andy Murray shared an adorable moment with his mum Judy after lifting his first title in more than three years at the Open du Pays d’Aix. The former world No 1 also made ATP Challenger Tour history, setting a new record for the most time elapsing between winning titles at that level with 17 years and nine months.
Murray’s mum was in France to watch the 35-year-old make history by lifting the trophy in Aix-en-Provence. As well as breaking the record for time between Challenger titles, it marked the Brit’s first title since 2019 and his first on the clay in six years.
The world No 52 came from a set down to defeat top seed Tommy Paul 2-6 6-1 6-2 in an impressive comeback, earning his third top 20 win of the season. After the match, he went to the side of the court and was embraced by Judy, who gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Judy was also joined by Mark Hilton – the popular British tennis coach who has been travelling with Murray for most of the season. The former world No 1 took a wildcard into Aix-en-Provence in a bid to earn some wins on the dirt after starting the clay swing 0-2.
