Andy Murray was named Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award winner in Rio de Janeiro on Monday night.
Last year, Murray won his first major championship at the US Open, the London 2012 Olympics singles gold medal and mixed doubles silver medal.
Murray is competing this week at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
Usain Bolt was acclaimed Laureus World Sportsman of the Year in the 2013 Laureus World Sports Award ceremony after his remarkable performance at the Olympics, when he repeated his success in Beijing by winning gold medals in all three sprint events in London - 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 x 100-metre relay.
The Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Award went to Jessica Ennis, who carried the hopes of the British nation in London. Despite the enormous pressure of being one of the first on the track, she dominated the heptathlon and won the gold medal with a British record score of 6,955 points.
