Press conference after Wimbildon

After in the quarter finals Murray lost the victory Sam Kurri held a meeting with the media, where the legendary British athlete shared his impressions of the game at the Wimbledon tournament. One of the representatives of the press decided to comment on Murray's statements, saying:

"Querrey is the only American athlete who, thanks to his brilliant game, has been in the Grand Slam semi-finals many times.

Andy reacted very quickly to this statement, proving that the journalist is fundamentally wrong. These are the words Murray said:

"You are wrong, saying that Sam is the only tennis player. Why did not you include women in your list? Remember, at least, the legendary Serena Williams. She has been in the semi-final of the Grand Slam since 2009 12 times. This is extremely incorrect on your part. Or do you think that male tennis players are better than women? ".

"This is what my son said! I'm proud!".

After that, the warm words from the fans followed, which expressed their recognition to the British athlete. By the way, the episode with the journalist at the press conference is far from the first, when Murray is standing up for the representatives of the weaker sex. Last year, Andy spoke out against the words of Novak Djakovich, who asked to increase the prize fee of a male tennis player.
