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.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
