JUDY MURRAY

OBE

British Tennis Coach

Driving Force Anchor

Former international tennis player with 64 titles to her name. She became Scottish National coach in 1995. That same year she became the first woman to pass The Lawn Tennis Association performance coach award. She initiated the Scottish Development School programme, which ultimately produced four Davis Cup players and one Fed Cup player, including her Grand-Slam-winning sons, Jamie and Andy.

In 2011 Judy was appointed Captain of the British Fed Cup Team and used this role to grow the profile and numbers in women’s tennis across players and coaches. Judy has developed several tennis initiatives including Miss-Hits, a starter programme for girls age 5 to 8, Tennis on the Road, which takes tennis into remote and deprived parts of Scotland, and, most recently, She Rallies, a programme with the LTA, to encourage more women and girls into tennis across the UK.
