Additionally, Judy became Scotland’s National Tennis Coach and the first woman to receive the Lawn Tennis Association’s Performance Coach Award, an achievement that established her as a pioneering name in tennis.
In her more recent career, Judy has continued to break barriers and challenge gender norms. She served for 5 years as Captain of the Great Britain Fed Cup team, contributing to raising the profile of female tennis coaches.

For example, Judy founded Miss-Hits and the Judy Murray Foundation, which aims to bring tennis to rural and disadvantaged areas in Scotland.
