How many times has Andy Murray won Wimbledon? GB tennis great's SW19 record and years he won on Centre Court

Andy Murray and Wimbledon share a special bond.

Since his first match in the 2005 men's singles at SW19, Murray has carried the hopes of a nation on his broadening shoulders.

Tennis fans desperate for a British Wimbledon men's champion have roared the Scot on during his 12 previous appearances at the Championship.

Over that time they have been treated to unimaginable highs - and one or two tears - as Murray became one of the world's best tennis players of his generation.

Here's a look back at Murray's tournament record and the years he won Wimbledon.

How many times has Andy Murray won Wimbledon?

Andy Murray has won the men's singles at Wimbledon twice - in 2013 and 2016.

In 2013, Murray overcame Novak Djokovic in straight sets to become the first British man to win the Wimbledon singles title since Fred Perry in 1936.

Murray, en route to the final, was in fine form and broke another record previously held by Perry - British player with the most Grand Slam wins to his name.

A gruelling three-hour and 10-minute match against the Serb, Djokovic, ended with Murray taking the fourth championship point in a 6-4 7-5 6-4 victory.

Murray, aged 26, roared with delight before sinking to his knees on the hallowed Wimbledon grass.

He celebrated with family and support team in the stands before returning for an emotional presentation where he became the first men's singles player to lift the coveted trophy in 77 years.

Murray's second Wimbledon win came in 2016 when he beat Canadian Milos Raonic, ranked third in the world at the time, who had beaten Roger Federer in the semi-finals that year.

Murray overcame Raonic 6-4 7-6 7-6 in two hours and 48 minutes to meet expectations for another Wimbledon title and a third Grand Slam of his career.

Emotions ran high once again, with Murray saying afterwards: "I’ve had some great moments here and some tough losses, and I’m proud to have my hands on the trophy again."
