When your partner double faults on match point, we do push ups 😂
Taylor Townsend and Jamie Murray sealed victory in the second round of the Wimbledon Mixed Doubles but actions had consequences it seemed.
After seeing off Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Jan Zielinski 7-6(2), 7-6(13), they did push-ups as a celebration.
But this was only due to Murray producing a double fault on match point in the second tie-break.
While it remained unpunished in terms of the context of the match, Murray still tasted a punishment post match.
"When your partner double faults on match point... there are consequences," wrote Townsend.
He explained the thought process behind it on their on court interview: "It was punishment for me to keep bloody serving in the net. I was like blowing it all of the time. She was like, ‘oh my God, we should do some press-ups.'"
"I didn’t really want to be playing a third set there but we did well to get through. Played five sets and four tiebreaks so happy to get through and I think tomorrow we’ll play mixed, we won’t play men’s tomorrow, still waiting for people to win and stuff. But happy days, yeah," he added.
