Andy Murray signs up to Hollywood talent agency
Tennis newsAfter reaching his first Grand Slam final, Andy Murray has enlisted a Hollywood talent agency to boost his profile.
The fourth-ranked Murray has signed with CAA Sports and 19 Entertainment, the company run by “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller which also manages England midfielder David Beckham.
The 21-year-old Scot’s brother, doubles player Jamie, has also signed up for the deal that will look after their on- and off-court activities from March 1, 2009.
“Jamie and I feel we’ve made big progress in the last couple of years on court,” said Andy Murray, who lost September’s U.S. Open final to Roger Federer. “It’s important that we have the very best team to take care of business while we concentrate 100 percent on our tennis.
“We now have an unbeatable combination of representatives with world-class stature and experience, and we are really excited by what we can achieve together.”
