Andy Murray’s doubles partnership with Serena Williams has disappointed his gran
There’s a lot of excitement at Wimbledon about the pairing of Andy Murray with Serena Williams for the mixed doubles, but not everybody is as thrilled as you’d expect. Andy’s very funny mum, Judy, posted this reaction.
Dear Andy,
Your gran is so disappointed. But she concedes that Serena may just have the edge on her.
Love from Mum x https://t.co/ztPxE7T73F— judy murray (@JudyMurray) July 2, 2019
Considering what the rest of the family are like, we suspect Andy’s gran might have been in with a chance. People loved Judy’s message to Andy.

I love gran…!! I’m a 48 year old school and pupil support assistant. I have no sporting talent. I can make a good cup of tea. Can Gran adopt me..?

Put gran in charge of Christmas jumpers this year. That'll serve him right.

Yes, but can Serena make shortbread? 🤔

Serena is still looking for a Ladies Doubles partner if gran is up for it

Andy’s gran wasn’t the only woman whose hopes had been dashed by the announcement.
Andy must have really wrestled with the decision between gran, me (the two leading contenders) and then Serena Williams comes in to the mix. VERY difficult decision….

Having seen her audition for the job, we’re shocked Miranda was overlooked.
The Sunday Brunch team said what we were all thinking.
We will never tire of @JudyMurray responding to her boys on Twitter. And although we’re gutted about @andy_murray’s gran being overlooked, this mixed doubles pairing is going to be epic! https://t.co/xoruDLhkWE
