Dedication time —
Andy Murray dedicated his win at January's Brisbane International to his longtime friend Ross Hutchins, who was diagnosed with cancer in the weeks leading up to the tournament.

Treatment time —
Hutchins was treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

Back on court —
Hutchins took to the court during the Rally Against Cancer charity match at June's AEGON Championships at Queen's Club.

Best of friends —
Hutchins and Murray both appeared at the Rally Against Cancer, where the Scot donated his $115,000 tournament winner's prize to charity.

Double trouble —
The pair played Davis Cup tennis for Great Britain in the doubles after progressing through the junior circuit together.

Olympic champion —
Hutchins is a doubles specialist but Murray has risen to No. 2 in the singles rankings. After losing out at Wimbledon to Roger Federer, he gained revenge by winning gold at the 2012 London Olympics.

Grand slam winner —
Murray then became the first British man to win a grand slam title since Fred Perry in 1936 after winning last September's U.S. Open following a titanic tussle with Novak Djokovic.

Eyes on the prize —
Murray's maiden grand slam triumph came after he squandered a two-set lead before edging out Djokovic in a tense decider.
