With less than two weeks to go for Wimbledon, the social media team is putting up extra efforts to build excitement around the biggest event on the calendar. The wildcard list, lead-up tournaments, and player dramas have built some sort of excitement for the slam. However, Wimbledon has received negative publicity in a particular department owing to its own blunder.

The fans were unhappy with the social media poster. Earlier, tennis fans on Twitter ridiculed Wimbledon for disrespecting Venus and Serena Williams. Now, Jamie Murray, the brother of Andy Murray has questioned the Briton’s absence on the poster. On top of that, Jamie Murray found himself on an unexpected path in the heat of things.

Andy Murray’s brother engages in an Instagram feud

When the social media poster came out on Instagram, Jamie Murray did not like the fact that his brother was snubbed. He immediately replied, “Where’s @andymurray?”. As expected, he did not receive any response from Wimbledon. However, the internet trolls did swarm into his mentions and said that the Briton did not belong on the same level as the Big 3.

Furious at the disrespect shown to his brother, Jamie Murray replied, “didn’t they talk about the big 4 for 10 years until he smashed his hip to pieces when he was world No.1 you melt”. He also responded with a clown emoji to another troll calling him dumb.

While many believed that Andy Murray deserved to be in the poster, the naysayers came up with an argument saying that the Briton did not have a Wimbledon rivalry with the Big 3 to feature there.

Did Andy Murray deserve to be in the poster?

If we go by the stats, Andy Murray was as successful as Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon. He also faced Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in the finals to tick off the rivalry box. A few other legends including Pete Sampras were snubbed. However, if the poster includes the three legends of the era, the fourth one must not be snubbed.
