Andy Murray, a former world number one, announced on Thursday. That he has raised $630,000 for war-torn Ukraine by keeping his promise to give his whole season’s winnings. Three-time major champion Murray made the decision in February. To give his 2022 on-court earnings to UNICEF programmes in Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion. In honour of his deed, the 35-year-old has been given the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award.

“Everyone was quite concerned about what it would mean when Russia invaded Ukraine. It was sad when the news started airing all the images of what was happening to families “Murray penned an essay that was published on atptour.com.

“Families were uprooted and homes bombed. Many young children were hurt and in some cases died as a result of this. I wasn’t sure how I might be of assistance.

The entire sum, which was just over $630,000, was donated shortly after I made the decision to contribute all of my prize money earned from Indian Wells forward to UNICEF’s humanitarian efforts.

This year, Wimbledon prohibited players from Russia and its ally Belarus.

They may continue competing in ATP and WTA events, but not while flying the flags of their countries.
