The family that plays together... former tennis pro Judy Murray has two World

Among all the dads in this list, we finally have a supermom! The recently anointed numero uno, Andy Murray, and one of the best doubles players in the world, Jamie Murray, have their mother Judy to thank for whatever they have achieved in their career.

In fact, Judy who comes from a sporting background (her father was a football player while she herself was a successful tennis player in Scotland) and was the first coach to both her sons. Though she took a backseat soon as her sons went professional, Judy’s coaching prowess saw her being asked to captain Great Britain’s Fed Cup team in 2011.

Both Andy and Jamie always make it a point that their mother was their biggest fan while Murray once candidly admitted that Judy’s the only person who gets him. Her steadfast dedication to her sons’ careers saw Great Britain’s eternal wait (well, since 1936) for a Wimbledon champion come to an end.

Now, Andy has gone one step further and become the No.1 ranked player in the world. Judy Murray must be one proud mother!
