Another jewel in his property crown includes the opulent Cromlix House, a five-star country hotel near his hometown of Dunblane, which he bought a decade ago for £1.8million. On reflecting about their relationship, he noted, "I work better in a relationship. At the end of the day, especially if I've lost a match, I don't like talking about tennis, so it's nice to have someone to talk to about other stuff."
Despite having a close relationship with his older brother Jamie, Andy's competitive spirit has sometimes led to friction between them. A significant disagreement arose in 2008 when Andy decided to withdraw from a Great Britain Davis Cup match against Argentina to safeguard his knee from further injury - a match he would have played alongside Jamie.
Andy Murray quickly retorted to his brother's remarks, saying: "It was a little bit disappointing. But he obviously felt pretty strongly about it and he's entitled to his opinion. If he knew what it was like playing three five-set matches in a row on clay then maybe he'd understand my position a little bit better. I've not spoken to him yet.
