Later in 2004, he won the US Open junior tournament.

Since 2006, Murray has been living with Nigel Sears' daughter Kim Sears, they decided to get married on April 11, 2015 at the Cromlix House Hotel, located not far from his home town of Dunblane in central Scotland. Their daughter is born on 7 February 2016.
