Murray has been quoted as saying in his biography, "I can eat ice-cream from midday until I go to bed."

He has also spoken about how at the beginning of his career he did not pay much attention to his diet, saying, "When I first played at Wimbledon I ate pizza before my matches and was staying in someone’s basement, so I’ve come a pretty long way."

The Scot was hesitant in accepting the award initially, as he was afraid it would affect his career, but after conferring with his mother and wife, he accepted the knighthood.
