Andy Murray Unveils 'Andy Murray Live' Charity Event In Glasgow

Andy Murray will "stage his own charity tennis event in Glasgow later this year," according to Paul Newman of the London INDEPENDENT. The 28-year-old Scot unveiled plans for “Andy Murray Live”, which will take place at the SSE Hydro Glasgow on Sept. 21. The event will "feature Murray and his brother Jamie as well as Gael Monfils and Tim Henman." Murray "will play Monfils in a singles match and will join his brother to face the Frenchman and Henman in a doubles contest." Tickets went on sale on April 22. All of the profits from "Andy Murray Live" will go to UNICEF and Young People's Futures, a Glasgow-based charity. Murray said, "I've been talking about this for a couple of years with the guys that I work with and my management team and it's finally come together." Half of the 10,000 tickets for the event will be priced at less than £25 ($36). Murray: "We wanted to encourage families to come along. Tennis is known in this country to be a very expensive sport and not all that accessible at times" (INDEPENDENT, 4/22).
