Andy Murray's Mother & Manager

In the movie Wimbledon, Sam Neill plays a father and manager in a stereotypically focussed and dour way.

If the character had been written as a female part, the stereotype would likely have been an overly-fussy mother with a tendency to embarrass her child prodigy.

Judy Murray, Andy Murray's mother and manager, manages to demonstrate at least half of this profile in her latest column in The Telegraph. Judy reveals snippets about Andy's conversations and state of mind that are interesting to his fans, but probably a little embarrassing for him to have made public.

Read a little deeper however, and it's warming to notice Judy's obvious affection for her son and a philosophy for his career that takes into consideration his emotional development at least as much as his tennis.
