Andy Murray as Daenerys Targaryen

Andy Murray has been building himself for many years to be in the position he is today, within striking distance of the very top. If Daenerys Targaryen has her dragons then Murray has his forehand and backhand. Where Daenerys has her huge army, Murray has his massive background team.

As the dragons grow and develop, the potential for them to catapult Daenerys to the Iron Throne is becoming more real. Similarly for Murray, as his weapons grow from the baselines, he seems more and more likely to threaten the world number one spot and certainly has the ability to do so.

In and amongst all the drama, what is clear for both is their conscious remains strong throughout. Murray is committed to pushing equality ideals with a female coach, whilst Daenerys is always focussed on trying to do the right thing. Both are quickly growing more likeable as their personalities shine through.
