Additionally, they also had banter with some fans. 

Andy Murray and Liam Broady had a fun Twitter banter

In the latest tweet, Andy Murray talked about the toughest sports in the world. According to him, UFC and boxing are quite tough and tennis is not very far. “What are the toughest sports out there? Boxing and UfC are right up there for sure and I’m not saying tennis is the toughest but it’s up near the top!” Murray tweeted. 

World no.138, Liam Broady retweeted that with his own answer, as he said, “Tennis nowhere near the top. Pretty much all martial arts go ahead, then contact sports. Then most athletic events.”

However, Murray hits back with a witty reply, “At level you play at I agree. Club/amateur tennis not near the top.”

Then, Broady talked about sports, like the NFL, and said, “I personally would prefer to play matches for 4 days straight with no break than play a single play in an NFL game on the defensive line. Just my opinion though.”
