Why Andy Murray is a winner on Twitter

Andy Murray begins his grass court season today as he bids to reclaim his Queen’s title before turning his attention to SW19 where he hopes to win Wimbledon for a second time. 

When he’s not practising on the court – or soothing his sore muscles in ice baths – Andy spends a fair bit of time on social media. And while he’s known for his dour interviews, fiery performance on court and timely tweets on the Scottish referendum, the British number one also has a wicked sense of humour. 

Here are 12 posts to convince you he’s worth following: 

1. The time he and Roger bantered about hair.

@rogerfederer haha I don't take as good care of mine as you! I saw you checking your hair out during the photoshoot yesterday #silkysmooth

And Andy followed it up with this:

@rogerfederer let me know if you ever want to go down this route.. Think it would be good for your image pic.twitter.com/8648JpMHC0

And then this:

2. When he called out People magazine for mixing him up with Andy Roddick.
