Liam Broady sparks humorous Twitter thread over Atlanta Open breakfast complaint as Andy Murray hilariously responds.
Liam Broady initiated a funny thread on Twitter
after complaining about the breakfast situation at the Atlanta Open. The Brit
fell in the first round of the ATP 250 qualifiers and posted a critique of the
tournament, with Andy Murray, John Isner, and Andy Roddick joining in the
comments.
“First match at 10am today so have to warm up
at 8:30. Breakfast doesn’t open till 9am? Walked into player area and we’ve
got… bagels. Really good for a high standard of tennis and tennis tournament in
Atlanta,” he wrote with three laughing emojis.
“Hope you are ok mate. That sounds terrible.
Surprised you hadn’t checked the breakfast situation ahead of time like most
professionals would have done,” Andy Murray commented jokingly with his
compatriot. “You have five people just to wipe your bum for you man you’ve
never checked a situation ahead of time in your life we are not the same,”
responded Liam Broady.
The topic went even further with John Isner and
Andy Roddick joining the discussion, defending their tournament: “I have to
defend Atlanta. There’s a Publix literally right next door to the hotel that
opens at 7am and closed last night at 10pm,” Isner wrote. “Free options aside,
imagine eating a full breakfast 45 minutes before you go onto the court for a
match as a professional. Atlanta is a big city,” Roddick wrote.

between the players regarding the facilities at the Atlanta Open.

I have to defend Atlanta. There’s a Publix literally right next door to the hotel that opens at 7am and closed last night at 10pm. Every single room at the hotel has a full kitchen that you can make breakfast in. Good luck.
Free options aside, imagine eating a full breakfast 45 minutes before you go onto the court for a match as a professional. Atlanta is a big city. I’ll bet you 100 I could find breakfast at 6:30 am which would have been the proper time to eat for digestion etc
Camila Giorgi resurfaces with new life in Dallas
The 2021 WTA 1000 Canadian Open champion
unexpectedly withdrew in May of this year when she disappeared from the WTA
rankings. She was accused of fleeing to the United States due to unpaid debts
and stealing antique furniture. After a few days, Giorgi issued a statement on
Instagram that she later deleted.
"Please trust this Instagram for truthful
information," the post began. “I am happy to formally announce retirement
from my tennis career. I am so grateful for your wonderful love and support for
so many years. I cherish all the beautiful memories. There have been many
inaccurate rumors about my future plans, so I look forward to providing more
information about exciting opportunities ahead.”
The 32-year-old Italian has recently shared
photos of herself and her new life in Dallas. The former tennis player appears
to have decided to continue with her modeling work, which she had balanced with
her professional tennis career. ‘Madness is like an abstract painting in which
the author puts what he feels and everyone sees in it what he wants,’ the
caption read.
Albeit she has since had issues with others saying that she didn't pay rent and took their furniture off them. A storm that will continue to develop and saw Giorgi retire from the sport to fan fare only to end in a stink.
Camila Giorgi on her retirement & recent rumors: “Please trust this instagram for truthful information. To my lovely fans, I am happy to formally announce retirement from my tennis career. I am so grateful for your wonderful love and support for so many years. I cherish all…
