Andy, 32, has just won the Bishop's Castle tennis singles championship for the fourth year in a row. On Tuesday his famous namesake defeated Novak Djokovic in New York to win his first Grand Slam title.

It is not the first time Shropshire's Andy Murray has been compared to Britain's top tennis player.

Andy, who plays for Bishop's Castle and Churchstoke, said: "People often ring up and ask if I am really Andy Murray – they don't really believe me when I say it is my name."

Mr Murray, of Bishop's Castle, works at Walcot Hall near Lydbury North.
