Synopsis

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Knowing the Score, written and read by Judy Murray.

It was the day I put the tennis balls into the tumble dryer that I realised I thought about tennis a little bit differently.

What happens when you find you have exceptional children?

Do you panic? Put your head in the sand? Or risk everything and jump in head first?

As mother to tennis champions Jamie and Andy Murray, Scottish National Coach, coach of the Fed Cup, and general all-round can-do woman of wonder, Judy Murray is the ultimate role model for believing in yourself and reaching out to ambition. As a parent, coach, leader, she is an inspiration who has revolutionised British tennis.

From the soggy community courts of Dunblane to the white heat of Centre Court at Wimbledon, Judy Murray’s extraordinary memoir charts the challenges she has faced, from desperate finances and growing pains to entrenched sexism.

We all need a story of ‘yes we can’ to make us believe great things are possible. This is that story.

Goodreads review by Julie on May 01, 2021

Whilst I've always enjoyed watching tennis and have been a spectator at Wimbledon, I've never been a huge Murray fan. Reading this book has given me a much greater appreciation of what it has taken for both the brothers and also Judy to get to the positions that they are at. It is so easy to listen......more
