| Andy Murray |
Born into a tennis-mad family, raised on rallies and sibling rivalry with his older brother Jamie, fueled by a burning competitive streak -- many would say a young Andy Murray was always destined to reach the top.
The world No. 1 is about to embark on a defense of his Wimbledon title. A third victory at SW19 -- traditionally seen as Murray's "home" slam -- would bolster his position as one of Britain's finest ever athletes.
If the three-time grand slam champion, who turned 30 in May, has come a long way he's the first to admit that at first he only ever wanted to carve out a pro career in the sport.
"My goal was to get into the top 100, become a professional tennis player and make a living from it," Murray, who became world No. 1 November last year, told CNN.
