Murray’s Engagements Beyond the Court
Announcing the theatre tour last November, Murray expressed his motivation: “Following this summer, I wanted to explore different avenues. I believe this type of event is unprecedented for a tennis player, and I embraced it as a significant personal challenge.”
Since his recent break from competitive tennis, Murray has remained actively involved in the sport, notably joining Novak Djokovic’s coaching team. He was present during Djokovic’s match against Jakub Mensik at the Miami Open final.
Meeting with Lionel Messi
Earlier in the Miami Open tournament, Murray had the opportunity to meet football icon Lionel Messi, following Djokovic’s semi-final victory over Grigor Dimitrov. A photograph of their meeting was shared by Murray on his Instagram account, accompanied by a humorous caption referencing a well-known football debate.
The Humorous Exchange
Murray playfully recounted asking Messi about his ability to perform in challenging conditions, stating he inquired: “I asked him if he could do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke. He responded ‘callate la boca’ which I think means ‘yes’ in Spanish.” The phrase, in fact, translates from Spanish to ‘shut up’ or ‘shut your mouth’.
