Many parents clams they love their children equally - but
many mother secretly have their favorites, and the mother of Andy Murray Judy Murray may have
apparently let hers slip in a light-hearted tweet.
READ THE TWEET BELOW
For years she has sworn that there were no favourites when
it came to her sons - Grand Slam champion Andy and his lesser-known brother,
doubles player Jamie.
But she inadvertently slipped up in a tweet declaring that
Andy was in fact her ‘special one
The tennis coach was undone as she shared a picture of her
youngest son with Chelsea boss and fan Jose Mourinho after his victory against
Gilles Muller at the Queen’s Club on Friday.
Posting an image of the two men post-match the 55-year-old
wrote: ‘The Special One with My Special One’.
Unfortunately, her other son, Jamie, was one of the first to
see it and chided his mother for her favouritism. ‘Thank you mum,’ he said back
in a tweet shortly afterwards.
Realising her blunder the mother-of-two tried to salvage the
situation by calling the 29-year-old ‘My Extra Special One xx.’
Playful sibling squabbling between the two soon ensued over
the social networking site to the amusement of their fans.
Andy, who joked about always being the ‘number two son’ during
the Grand Slam last year, was quick to chime in with a dig at his older
brother.
The Scot, who is preparing for Wimbledon next week after his
fourth Queen’s Club triumph, wrote: ‘We all know you are number 1 son noobs...
Best presents at Christmas, bigger bedroom, blame everything on me etc.
But his older brother was not to be undone, with Jamie
quickly pointing out: ‘Times have changed... Now your bedroom is bigger than my
apartment and I’m no longer the favourite son... :’(‘
Meanwhile their mother stepped in support of Jamie, and
reminded Andy: ‘You got the hamster and the goldfish though… and the close
encounter with the snake :)’
During Wimbledon last year, Andy had moaned that his family
had snubbed him in favour of his older brother.
After his straight set victory against Roberto Bautista Agut
which saw him enter the last 16, he complained that his mother had opted to
watch Jamie who was playing a doubles match at the same time.
Apparently joking, he said: ‘It’s a shame. We were on at the
same time. None of my family came to watch me, so I’m always the number two
son.’
