Queen Elizabeth Announces Judy Murray To Receive The OBE Award |

Judy Murray is among the leading sporting figures to feature in the Queen’s birthday honours list.

Murray, the former Great Britain Fed Cup coach and mother to the Wimbledon champions Andy and Jamie, will receive an OBE for services to tennis, women in sport and charity.

“I do what I love and I love what I do, so I feel very lucky to have been given this honour,” she said. “I’ll keep working hard to grow tennis and to promote women’s sport across the UK.” She is the third member of her family to be honoured after Andy was knighted in the new year, while Jamie also received an OBE in 2016.
