Wimbledon wedding just a wind-up, confesses Andy Murray Sure enough, word soon arrived that Murray had just been messing about. "I would have hoped that, by now, you would know that that isn't probably the way I would go about doing something like that," he told a small group of reporters on Wednesday. I wouldn't do it on social media or in front of a TV camera. He sounded slightly disappointed that the world had not understood him well enough to appreciate the tone of his Twitter message. "Someone asks a question like "Who would you kill out of Nadal, Federer and Djokovic?" and you answer that question and it doesn't get picked up on," he said, to emphasise the point that he had clearly been in flippant mode. It's not really worth the bother to be honest. As Kevin Pietersen might say, it's not easy being Andy. He is often portrayed as boring, largely because he was born with a monotone voice - the aspect of himself he once said he would most like to change. But when he tries to be light-hearted, not everyone gets the joke. Not that Murray will waste any time ruminating over the affair. Instead will be turning his attention to this weekend's Davis Cup match against the USA. Play starts at 7pm on Friday (GMT) on a purpose-built clay court at Petco Park, a baseball stadium in San Diego's bijou "Gaslamp" district. Asked if he planned to lead the British bid on all three days of the tie, Murray replied: "It's a possibility. I haven't played on clay since the surgery so I don't know how I will feel until after the first match. Meanwhile, Roger Federer will join the Australian Open champion, Stanislas Wawrinka, for Switzerland's first-round tie this weekend against Serbia in the Davis Cup, a trophy the 17-time grand slam winner has yet to win.
