There were no hip issues for Andy Murray this week, as he traded his traditional racket for a DualShock 4 controller and conquered the clay. The legendary Scot overcame fellow pro David Goffin to win the virtual Madrid Open in flawed PlayStation 4 title Tennis World Tour, stealing the victory in a tense tie-break.
Murray had made the final courtesy of a walkover after Diego Schwartzmann suffered a “connection issue”, eliminating him from the contest entirely. He trailed the final tie-break at one point 5-4 but took three points in a row to earn a cool $45,000. The two-time Wimbledon winner has since said that he’ll be donating half of the money to the NHS, and the other half to the tennis player relief fund.

It was a great idea but hampered by the execution and quality of the game. I started watching the first day but the matches lasted 5-10 mins then about half hour gaps in between. Sometimes they missed the start of matches as well. It's a shame because it was a stellar line-up and entertaining at times, mostly when we could hear the players themselves rather than the commentators.
Absolutely wonderful.
Let’s be honest, this is probably the only tournament Murray is going to be winning for some time.
Fair play though.
Well that NLife article did say us Scots were the 8th best country in the world at games!
@nessisonett up the Scots!
I dont mind Scott's in general. Really nice people to be fair and i also love Irn_bru🤔but i cannot stand that obnoxious miserable git. Good job he won it tho, couldnt blame his hip for losing that one. Nice donation tho.
EDIT- Ive actually just ordered this game. Apparently it wasnt that great at launch but they seem to have patched the pants out of it and going by youtube reviews and comparisons, its a whole lot better. Argos has the Roland Garros edition with the patches and DLC for 14.99. Wanted a decent Tennis game for a long time so thought id take a punt as it doesnt look like were getting a new Top spin any time soon.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Irn Bru was my go to drink ........but they decided to take out sugar and add sweetners so I drink carbonated water now and add pure pineapple juice.
on ya Andy! hes good
@Number09 yeah it tastes like junk now but a scottish guy who i work near always brings me back a few standard ones in glass bottles when he goes. God knows where he gets it from. Tastes amazing tho.đź‘Ś
