The mother of former world number one Andy Murray, Judy, has
lamented the state of tennis affairs in Scotland.
Judy’s son Andy is regarded as one of the most successful tennis
player in the men’s singles category to have come out of the United Kingdom in
the recent past. He went on to win three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic Gold
medals as well.
Recently, Bulgaria’s tennis star Grigor Dimitrov made a comment
that tennis as a sport is a rewarding one if certain amount of investment is
being made at different levels.
"Tennis is the type of sport where whatever you put in,
you get out of it, eventually, maybe not right away,” he said. “I always, I
think one of my most important things is always, go at it, give a hundred
percent and you never know how the cards will unfold, but at least when you
look back, you'll be so proud of yourself. Our sport is difficult enough,"
Grigor Dimitrov stated.”
However, Judy, in response to that in a post on her official
account on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — suggested
that is not the case in her home country Scotland. "Unless you live in
Scotland," wrote the 64-year-old.
