Teen Tennis Star Robertson Aims to Surpass Murray's Legacy.

Charlie Robertson could have impressed with some dance moves at the Paris Olympics, but he's focused on using his quick footwork to become "as good, if not better" than his idol and fellow Scot, Andy Murray, on the tennis court.

Ranked 10th in the world junior rankings after reaching the US Open semi-finals, 17-year-old Charlie Robertson is already making waves in tennis. 

Speaking to BBC Scotland, the young star from Dundee said, "You have got to dream big."

Like many rising athletes, Robertson dabbled in multiple sports growing up—rugby, football, and golf. But the real surprise? "I actually did a bit of dancing when I was younger—street dance," he revealed with a smile. While his path could have led to a different stage, his fancy footwork is now dedicated to chasing tennis greatness.
