CHART: Why Andy Murray Is Now The Best Tennis Player In The World

In the last 12 months, there have been five major tennis tournaments if we include the Olympics. Murray has competed in four of those tournaments, winning three (Olympics, 2012 U.S. Open, 2013 Wimbledon), and reaching the finals of the fourth (2013 Australian Open).
