This title made him the only British male to become a Grand Slam singles champion during the Open Era. On 7 July 2013, Murray won the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, becoming the first British player to win a Wimbledon senior singles title since Virginia Wade in 1977, and the first British man to win the Men's Singles Championship since Fred Perry, 77 years previously. Murray is the only man in history to have won Olympic Gold and the US Open in the same calendar year, as well as the third man to hold the gold medal and two majors on different surfaces (after Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal). He is also the first tennis player and only man in history to have won two Olympic gold medals in the singles category and on two different surfaces (grass in 2012, and hard 2016). Subsequent to his success at the Olympics in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013, Murray was voted the 2013 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. By reaching 2016 French Open final, Murray became the 10th man since the Open Era began in 1968 to reach the final of all four Grand Slam tournaments. In 2016, he became the only man in history to win singles titles at a Grand Slam, the Olympic Games, a Masters 1000 event, and the Year-End Championships in the same calendar year. (en)
