Judy Murray is one very proud mother! The 57-year-old took to her Twitter page to share a series of sweet pictures of both her sons, Andy and Jamie, after they ended the year at the top of the world rankings in tennis.

To celebrate her sons' incredible achievements, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant posted various flashback photos of her two boys. "The way we were........," she simply captioned the candid images. In one image, the words "Andy & Jamie Murray: Pride of Scotland, Kings of world tennis" stands out in bold.

On Sunday, Andy secured the year-end world No 1 ranking after he beat competitor Novak Djokovic in straight sets to claim his first ATP World Tour Finals title at London's O2 Arena. This means the 29-year-old sportsman will keep the title for the rest of this year. Elsewhere, his elder brother Jamie, 30, also finished the year as one half of the world's top-ranked doubles pair after he and Bruno Soares succeeded at the ATP World Tour Finals last week.
