Chris Evert, the legendary American tennis player, was known for her ability to remain calm under pressure. However, even she couldn’t help but laugh at a cheeky comment made by Andy Murray. He recently played a marathon five-set match at the Australian Open 2023. The match was a thrilling one for all the fans. Both players gave their all in an attempt to secure a spot in the finals.

When compared to Murray’s grueling journey, which took more than 10 1/2 hours earlier in the week, this match’s ending time of 3 1/2 hours appeared quite brief. In the first round on Tuesday, he defeated 13th-seeded Matteo Berrettini in a five-set match. In the second round, which started on Thursday night and ended just before 4 a.m. on Friday, he defeated Thanasi Kokkinakis in a second five-set match.

Evert tweeted a fitting one-word reply to Andy Murray over his d**k joke

It was a comment that many fans found to be surprising and refreshing. It showed that even the most fierce competitors can have a sense of humor. Evert’s comment also highlights the importance of having a sense of humor in sports. Tennis is a physically and mentally demanding sport, and it can be easy to get caught up in the intensity of the match. However, Evert’s comment shows that even in the most high-pressure situations, it’s important to be able to laugh and have fun.

Evert has always been known for her calm and composed demeanor on and off the court. However, her recent reaction to a cheeky comment made by Andy Murray during a post-match interview has certainly caught the eye of her fans.
