Andy Murray says Judy's animated displays are too distracting when he's playing tennis By Laura Cox Tennis fans have grown used to seeing her pumping her fist and gritting her teeth as she watches her son on court. But it turns out Andy Murray would rather his mother wasn't there at all, because her reactions to his game "aren't particularly helpful." The tennis star, 26, has admitted he finds Judy Murray's animated expressions distracting. So much so, he said he refused to look at her during the Wimbledon final in July. Opening up: Andy Murray spoke about his feelings on mother Judy's reactions to his playing on Jonathan Ross, airing on Friday He said: "I watched the last game of Wimbledon a couple days after Wimbledon and my mum's reactions after the points aren't particularly helpful. "In that game, I'd lose a match point and she would sort of stand up rigid, sort of saying, "It's ok, it's ok" but I'm looking at her thinking, "I can tell in your face, you're thinking it's not ok." 'I don't think it's easy watching your kids playing in matches like that and you actually feel bad when you see how much stress they're going through. Stress: Andy said he finds it hard watching the amount of stress his mother goes through Parental guidance: Andy was seen kissing Judy after defeating Serbia's Novak Djokovic in the Men's Final during Wimbledon He added: "Normally I do look up to members of my team but at that moment, in the final of Wimbledon, I wasn't looking at anyone. I was literally just on the court, focusing. Mrs Murray, 54, is known for her fierce commitment to her son's career. She gave him his first tennis racket when he was two, coached him until he was 11, and has followed him around the world. In July, Murray, who is currently ranked number one player in Britain and number four in the world, beat Novak Djokovic to become the first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years. Sticking to his side: Andy's girlfriend Kim Sears joined him at the show Feel my muscles! Jonathan provided a typically entertaining interview with Andy Showing off his moves: Jonathan couldn't resist getting Andy to play tennis during the interview The match ended with a tense game in which Murray missed out on three match points, before winning his fourth. As he threw his racquet in the air in celebration, his mother could be seen sobbing fiercely (!), while Murray's girlfriend, Kim Sears, gripped her head in apparent disbelief. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show - due to air on Saturday - Murray revealed he received a letter from the Duchess of Cambridge after winning the prestigious title. Talking music: Celine Dion also appeared on the show to talk about her new album Animated: Celine is always an entertaining interviewee He said: "After Wimbledon, his [Prince William's] wife, wrote a letter, she has unbelievable handwriting. Amazing, amazing handwriting, and he writes like a boy. It just said, "Well done on Wimbledon."" In his recent autobiography. Murray revealed he suffers from stress-induced mouth ulcers in the run up to high-pressured games. He also told how his hand began "shaking violently" in the Wimbledon final, while his legs became heavy and tired. Belting it out: Boyzone provided the musical entertainment on the show But during the recording of the ITV chat show, he said he has learnt not to show emotion during games - something he was criticised for at the beginning of his career. He said: "The thing is as an athlete, particularly in an individual sport, you actually for years you're trying not to show emotion on the court. That's something you're almost taught not to do, show emotion on the court. But if you went and watched a video of my very first Wimbledon, I was jumping around, so happy every time I won a point, so excited, that I was tired after like 20 minutes. I needed to change that, I needed to become a little bit more level headed. Murray's next major tournament will be the Australian open in January, a competition he has reached the final of three times but never won. The player, who recently had surgery on his back to fix disc problems, said he hopes to be fit enough to succeed.
