Andy Murray's Funny Interviews in Shanghai

Andy Murray was THE MAN at the Shanghai Rolex Masters, where on Sunday he successfully defended his title, completed the Asian hat trick, and passed Roger Federer in the rankings as the new number 3 in the world.

During the course of the tournament, Andy gave a couple of pretty funny interviews that I think you will enjoy.  The first interview is the video above in which he had to chose between Ana Ivanovic and Caroline Wozniacki, Adele and Lady Gaga, and.....perfume and a tie??  Yeah, he didn't get that question either, but it sure gave him the giggles!

Below is another funny interview that he did (sorry no video) where he talked about.....poetry and balls.   Insert funny joke here ____.  Enjoy!

Q. One of the things that I certainly didn't know about your next opponent until I was told a few minutes ago is that he often fills in his time by writing poetry. Have you ever felt the need to exercise your muse?

ANDY MURRAY: I read poems sometimes. But I definitely haven't written any lately (smiling). 

Q. Which poets are big on your list then?

ANDY MURRAY: I mean, it was actually last week I was reading a bit of Kipling, because they obviously have it just before you go out on the court at Wimbledon. When I read stuff, I find that, I don't know, I don't relate to it as much. But when I hear someone else saying it... I would rather watch a movie than read a book. So I was trying to watch some things on YouTube of a few poems.

Q. Very impressive.

ANDY MURRAY: Thank you. 

Q. Dragging you down from the lofty heights of Kipling to balls.

ANDY MURRAY: I like talking about balls (smiling).

Q. I heard you singing before the press conference. What about singing?

ANDY MURRAY: You heard that? I didn't realize you could hear that. What did you think? How was it? Was it good, the singing?

Q. Maybe you can sing louder.

ANDY MURRAY: Not now, but maybe another time I'll do that.
