Andy Murray will be receiving more home recognition after his historic summer Wimbledon title, with the Scot set to be handed the freedom of the city of Stirling. Mother Judy Murray revealed that the ceremony is likely to take place next April as she received an honorary degree from the University of Stirling.

Murray, currently in Miami working on rehab after his September back surgery, was originally honoured by the Scottish city after backing up his 2012 Olympic gold medal with the first Wimbledon crown for a British man in more than three-quarters of a century, As a child before moving his tennis to Spain, Murray trained at a Scottish tennis centre in Stirling.

“He was given the Freedom of the City and, yes, he has to collect that,” Judy Murray told local media.

“Unfortunately he was laid up for a few months with back surgery then rehab on the injury, which meant he couldn’t travel and had to stay close to physios and doctors, and then his rehab ran into the off season.”

Judy Murray, her son’s first tennis coach, worked at the tennis facility from 1995 and 2004 where she introduced her own sons to the sport. “It’s a very special day for me. I’ve been coaching for over 20 years now, I love the sport, I love teaching, and I’ve been incredibly lucky to have a job that involves me in something that I really enjoy and that I really care about,” she said.
