Australian Open veteran Andy Murray rolled back the years with another magical performance in Melbourne in the 2023 first round.
Murray prevailed 6-3 6-3 4-6 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (10-6) to dispatch 13th seed Matteo Berrettini, the first time the 35-year-old has beaten a top-20 player at a grand slam since undergoing hip resurfacing surgery in January 2019.
Murray still holds plenty of high stock and monetary value on account of his career exploits. One of the most cherished national heroes that Scotland has ever had, his fans will be desperate for him to somehow produce another memorable run at Melbourne Park.
The Sporting News takes a look at just how much money the 35-year-old has made so far since bursting onto the professional scene back in 2005.
Andy Murray net worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Murray is worth an estimated $100 million (£81.35 million).
Being a relative veteran of the court at 35, his performances across the years in Grand Slam, ATP and Olympic tournaments amongst others have propelled him to become the ninth wealthiest tennis player of all time, which is largely owing to his on-field performances and various endorsement deals with different brands such as Jaguar, Amazon Prime Video and American Express.
At his peak, Murray was ranked at number one in the ATP rankings for 41 weeks straight, showing remarkable levels of consistency throughout his reign of former supremacy.
