Tennis in Scotland
Tennis in Scotland is a minor sport, which has obtained some prominence due to the successes of Andy Murray. While tennis courts are not uncommon, Scotland's inclement weather, and the draining of resources into British and southern English tennis has made it historically quite hard for Scottish players to break through. in certain senses, it has a low profile, for example, the only tennis inductee into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame is Winnie Shaw. However, since 2008, Tennis Scotland's membership has increased from 32,715 to 47,657 - a rise of more than 45 per cent.〔http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scottish-tennis-58million-boost-capitalise-2039874〕
Scotland competes as Great Britain in tennis, however its contribution to the pool of British players traditionally has been very poor in the modern era with almost all notable players being English. However, this has taken an about turn in recent years with emergence of Andy Murray, and doubles players Colin Fleming and Jamie Murray. Andy Murray is by some distance the best player currently representing Britain as the UK number 1 and is also the world number 2. On 7 July 2013 he became the first British player to win the men's singles at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936, 77 years before. Brother Jamie and won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title along with Serbian Jelena Janković in 2007, the first time any British player had won a major title at Wimbledon in 20 years. Colin Fleming along with his English partner Ross Hutchins is currently ranked 9th in the ATP Doubles Team Rankings. There are no official ATP tournaments in Scotland however, with all major events in Britain being contested in England.
==Governing body==
The governing body is Tennis Scotland, which is based in Craiglockhart, Edinburgh. It has frequently seen itself as a subset of British tennis, rather than a national body in its own right.
