Andy Murray book set for November

A "beautiful and very personal" illustrated book from Wimbledon champion Andy Murray will be published by Headline in November.

Jonathan Taylor, Headline non-fiction publishing director, acquired world rights to Andy Murray: 77 from Murray's management company.

When Murray lifted the Wimbledon trophy this summer, he was the first British man to win the championship for 77 years. The book will take the reader on "a personal journey" through Murray's career, focusing on the last two years. The publisher said the athlete was set to "share with us his thoughts on the pivotal moments of his playing career so far and allow us a glimpse into his world— his intense training regime, his close-knit team and his mental and physical battle to get to the top."

Taylor said: "Andy Murray is one of Britain's best-loved athletes. The whole country has followed the high and lows of his career and over 17 million of us tuned in with our hearts in our mouths to watch him defeat Djokovic and become Wimbledon Champion. This beautiful and very personal book will be a stunning celebration of Andy's career so far and all of us at Headline are absolutely thrilled to be working with him."

Andy Murray: 77 will be released on 7th November. Murray will do some publicity for the book, with details still to be finalised.

Murray released a biography, Hitting Back, with Century in 2008, retitled Coming of Age for the 2009 paperback.
