Bbc just called to say I was PROBABLY going to be named sports personality of the year but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!
2 days ago I randomly bumped into the doctor who in 2017 told me “the good news is the problem you have in your hip can be fixed but you won’t be able to play professional sport again.” I think we dispelled that myth the last 5 days.😉Goodnight ❤️
Im not bothered by the outcome of this match at all. Just seeing Federer at 39 off the back of 2 knee surgeries playing to an empty stadium at 12.30am getting fired up is inspirational to me. Do what you ❤️
School drop off this morning. My 6 year old “daddy don’t give me a kiss and a cuddle anymore when you drop me…just stay in the car.” 😢 tough game. Back to reality!
Dear Andy, you clearly don't understand politics or the Brexit campaign but are filled with prejudice.
Concentrate on the tennis and, a word of advice, crack a smile every now and again. twitter.com/andy_murray/st…
Got my 3rd microchip injected into me today🤨
Joking aside..science is the best. Thank you scientists, thank you doctors and health care workers for the incredible work you are doing ❤️
Unreal atmosphere out there tonight… thanks so much to everyone that was in there watching and supporting.. you carried me over the line 👏 life in the old dog yet eh!🐕
Totally agree with you. All of those players deserve and need the support of the public after that. All seem like brilliant guys. Nothing can prepare you for that level of pressure/attention/criticism at 19/20 years old. Respect 👍
I admire every player who steps up & shows the balls to take a penalty in a game that important. Especially when they’re just 19, 21 & 23. Proud of you @BukayoSaka87@Sanchooo10@MarcusRashford- you missed, and we lost, but you’ve all got guts.
McEnroe told the truth. Ms Raducuna’s a talented player but couldn’t handle the pressure & quit when she was losing badly. Not ‘brave’, just a shame. If I were her, I’d tell my fans to stop abusing McEnroe, & seek his advice on how to toughen up & become a champion like he was. twitter.com/guardian/statu…
A challenge to all tennis players and fans... The 💯 volley challenge. There was no bickering during the filming of the video 🙄, although I think the last volley was aimed at my head... I can't be the only one that wants to see Rog and Mirka hitting a few balls together...🎾
Female tennis player Peng Shuai whereabouts currently unknown after making Sexual abuse allegations against Chinese government official.
This speech gives us a reminder and some hope that things can change in the future 🙏#WhereIsPengShuai
Mirra Andreeva on the coolest thing about being at a big event
“When you’re here & take a lunch with all these stars, you see Andy Murray… you see his face. & he’s so beautiful in life. He is so amazing”
The way her face lights up when talking about Andy
Mirra is all of us
No question flying a fighter plane in a war would be unbelievably stressful. Pressure comes in many different forms. You praised Jorginho for how he handled “incredible pressure” yesterday. What’s your point?
My favourite quote about pressure in sport:
'There is no pressure in Test cricket. Real pressure is when you are flying a Mosquito with a Messerschmitt up your arse.' - Keith Miller.

Does the article actually say that though? “Criticising young male athletes is fine” I’ve read it and it wasn’t my takeaway. I think criticising young athletes is fine by the way I’m just not sure what exactly she did during
Criticising young male athletes: fine.
Criticising young female athletes: MISOGYNY!
This isn't equality, ladies..

and all the tennis support team for everything they have done to help me perform at my best over the years. It’s been an absolute privilege to represent you and my country at 4 Olympics and it’s given me some of the best memories of my life.
Iga Swiatek beats Liudmila Samsonova 6-1, 6-0 to reach the QFs in Dubai.

All the player she beat were top 20 or former GS finalists.
Unbelievable.

Absolutely gutted I couldn’t make it to the #MetGala this year as I’m competing in France. Some of the fashion on display was simply divine. Particularly the lad dressed as a cat 🐱
That’s one of the most amazing wins/results/upsets I’ve seen in a long time on a tennis court.. Well done to cam norrie and all the team.. Broady was excellent too 🇬🇧🇬🇧🔥🔥
