Andy Murray has endured a turbulent 2011
As the dust settles on Wimbledon and the tennis world looks to the US Open for the final Grand Slam of the year, one man continues to chase that elusive first Grand Slam title that many thought he would have won by now. 

Yes, when Andy Murray first burst onto the scene back in 2004 winning ‘BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year’ award he was tipped for greatness and after impressive runs as a wild card in both Queens and Wimbledon the following year, when ranked in the 300s and only 18 years of age, he was widely described as the UK's brightest sporting hope. It was already seen as an inevitability that Murray would win a Grand Slam and it was just a case of how long.
