Andy Murray will represent Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics and he explained to a fan why, when the fans questioned it.

Twitter interactions between fans and athletes are becoming normal and in the latest, Andy Murray fired back towards a fan that questioned his position on Team GB for the Olympics. The fan complained about Andy Murray having a place on team GB considering his awful form in 2021 referencing Cam Norrie's absence from it.

What the fan did not know what that Cameron Norrie (2nd best ranked British player) has elected not to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games which Murray pointed out. Murray wrote:

"Cam chose not to play… each nation is allowed 4 singles players…i used my special exemption as the previous winner to take my spot in the draw.. it no bearing on Cam or any other British players chance to compete"

Andy Roddick jumped into the action as well joking that the fan will probably delete the post. Murray responded that he may have come off as aggressive but he wasn't trying to and he simply wanted to explain the facts. Check out the whole interaction below.
