Andy Murray enjoyed a fantastic career on the ATP Tour, from which he retired at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Murray retired as a three-time Grand Slam champion, as well as a former world number one on the ATP Tour.
The Scot has since turned his hand to coaching, linking up with his former rival Novak Djokovic shortly after retiring.
That partnership has since ended, with Murray taking on other endeavours such as delving into the golfing world.
Andy Murray shares unwanted Grand Slam record with Ivan Lendl
Murray achieved superb success on the court for many years, but there was also plenty of heartache for the former British number one.
That includes a huge eight Grand Slam final defeats, five of which remarkably arrived at the Australian Open.
He suffered his fifth final loss at the event in 2016, joining his former coach Ivan Lendl as the only players to lose five finals at the same Grand Slam since the Open Era began in 1968.
Remarkably, four of Murray’s five defeats came against Djokovic, with the first having arrived against fellow icon Roger Federer.
What was Ivan Lendl’s Grand Slam finals record?
Like his former student Murray, Lendl enjoyed a phenomenal tennis career, also reaching world number one.
But he did manage to outshine the Scot almost everywhere else, claiming eight Grand Slam titles and 94 ATP titles.
Like Murray, however, there were a lot of near misses on the biggest stage, with Lendl losing 11 Grand Slam finals.
Most of his heartbreak, however, arrived at the US Open, where he suffered those five Grand Slam final defeats.
But both players have been outdone by fellow legend Djokovic, who has a mammoth six US Open final losses to his name.
Conversely, the Serbian boasts a phenomenal unbeaten record from his Australian Open finals, winning all 10.
