Andy Murray had some fun at an Ohio amusement park on Friday, riding a roller coaster alongside Nick Kyrgios, laughing his weird laugh, and trying (or not) to avoid saying bad words....
Andy Murray Sobs After Winning Match At 3 A.M., Rails Against Tournament Schedule
Andy Murray, just six matches into a comeback after an 11-month absence from tennis due to hip surgery, beat Marius Copil to win his third consecutive three-set match early this morning in Washington D.C., and then broke down in tears on the court as Semisonic’s “Closing Time” blared over the speake...
BBC Makes Shirtless Andy Murray And Geri Halliwell Sing Spice Girls Songs In Bed

Nice Kilt
At a charity exhibition match in Glasgow, Scotland today, Andy Murray played in what is apparently called a “See You Jimmy” hat, and Roger Federer put on a kilt....
Nick Kyrgios Took A Beating
Given the prim tone of the sport, genuine trash-talking is an unlikely sight in tennis. When Alexander Zverev visibly uttered “fuck” while starting down his vanquished opponent, fans in the gallery may have dropped their champagne flutes and lost their monocles due to violent eye-popping. That was f...
Andy Murray Continues To Speak Up About Gender Equality In Tennis
In a piece published by the BBC today, Andy Murray, the gruff Scotsman and current world No. 3 who’s emerged as an outspoken feminist over the years, wrote that, “I have been asked about women’s equality and I would find it hard to look any of the top female tennis players in the eye if I did not sp...
Goodbye, Andy Murray
Andy Murray’s hip came the closest any tennis injury ever could to provoking a national crisis: The top British sportsman (and defending Wimbledon champion) was still hurt on the cusp of the country’s most storied sporting event. Murray, like most elite athletes, is in a perpetual state of semi-brok...
Andy Murray Sinks Yet Another Oddball
It’s as if Wimbledon conspired to keep things as weird as possible for its top seed Andy Murray, who has been fed a steady procession of head cases with games that defy the best-laid plans. ...
Andy Murray Survives Fabio Fognini, The Sleepy Pirate
What is there to know about Fabio Fognini? He is the languid, deviant pirate of tennis. With a skull headband wrapped around his dome, he does a stout little swagger around the court. He does not swing his racket very dramatically, but very dramatic things happen to the ball after it leaves his rack...
Dustin Brown Is The Wackiest Motherfucker In Tennis
The overhead is one of the most straightforward shots in tennis, so straightforward it follows a script. You are standing not too far from the net. A ball is falling down to the court from way up above. Your job is to meet it with your racket over your head, and hard. The only real choice left to yo...
Root For Stan Wawrinka, The Artful Troll
At his peak, Stan Wawrinka might be the best tennis player alive, but that peak is hard to find. Sometimes—right after winning his third major and reaching his career-high ranking, say—he’s just a bed-headed lump, tumbling out of the first round of tournaments courtesy of the world No. 91 or 72. Thi...
These Players Will Not Beat Rafael Nadal: A Largely Pointless French Open Preview
We’re going to proceed on the assumption that Rafael Nadal will (literally) sink his teeth into the French Open trophy, as he has nine times since 2005. ...
Andy Murray Can't Move
Andy Murray fell to Fabio Fognini yesterday in his second-round match at the Italian Open, 6-2, 6-4. While Fognini’s multifaceted game is much bigger than his No. 29 ranking might suggest—he’s one of two people to take a set off Rafael Nadal this clay season—that’s little solace for Murray, who was ...
Borna Coric, Lucky Loser, Puts Slumping No. 1 Andy Murray To Bed
It’s been an extremely Andy Murray series of events. The ornery Scot played blisteringly good, 28-wins-straight tennis to finally claim the No. 1 spot for the first time in his career, but has since looked much easier to topple, taking losses to names you wouldn’t immediately recognize: older broth...
Andy Murray Is Out Here Breaking Ankles
Andy Murray, who’s looked sloppy and out of sorts in today’s Barcelona Open quarterfinal, broke Albert Ramos-Vinolas’s ankles on this point in the final set, and it may have even saved his match. As the chuckling commentators note, this is tennis’s equivalent of a crossover. ...
The Best (Of Who's Left) At Indian Wells
INDIAN WELLS, Calif.—When you touch down in the desert in the middle of March, they pretty much know why you’re there. They plant a big-ass screen right at the arrivals gate and the tennis players loom nearly life-sized. That’s how it was possible to know, within 15 minutes of landing, that Andy Mur...
Andy Murray Will Just Relax And Giggle While His Rivals Tear Each Other Apart
Andy Murray is a lucky dude at Indian Wells, and he knows it. While all his foes try to slit each others’ throats in the bottom quarter of the draw—home to Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Juan Martin del Potro, and Nick Kyrgios—the top seed plans to enjoy the gladiator games from his re...
The Indian Wells Men's Draw Is One Big Clusterfuck
Today, out in the Coachella Valley, the Indian Wells Masters will begin. It’s the highest-profile tennis tournament in the world after the four Grand Slams, dropping a fat bounty of 1000 ranking points on its winners. Everyone in the tennis universe should be excited, except for Serena Williams and ...
Andy Murray Saved His Ass With The Best, Dumbest Drop Shot
Today in poor decisions: Andy Murray, down match point at the Dubai Championships, went for this comically risky drop shot against Philipp Kohlschreiber....
No. 1 Andy Murray Upset By Unseeded Mischa Zverev
Top-seeded Andy Murray is no longer the favorite to win the Australian Open; instead, he’ll be going home earlier than expected. Murray fell to unseeded Mischa Zverev in today’s fourth round, 7-5, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4....
