The British tennis legend, Andy Murray concluded the grass court season with two ATP Challenger Tour titles in his bag. Now, the 36-year-old tennis star will be marking his participation in the forthcoming event, Citi Open. Prior to the commencement of the outdoor hardcourt tournament, he recently showcased his competitive side, however, in a totally disparate game, UNO.

The former Wimbledon champion relished the experience of the most beloved card game with his elder brother, Jamie Murray. The popular card, however, led to a hilarious banter between the tennis star brothers on social media, as the elder one steadfastly refused to concede defeat.

In another video, the former Wimbledon champion reiterated his previous remarks about “pumping” his older brother. Andy said, “So, we can both agree that I pumped you”

Later, Jamie finally accepted his defeat as he revealed it was the younger one who prevailed 4-3 in their total card games. The 36-year-old tennis star was once again quite blunt in reminding his brother about his dominating ‘UNO’ victory. Andy said, “So I pumped you?” In order to justify his defeat, Jamie asserted that the game was entirely based on cards rather than any strategy or skills. He said, “It was a convincing last two games, but it is all about the cards, really. There’s not much skill to it.”
