Murray is the top seed in Nottingham this week, where he is hoping to continue his grass-court form after winning the title in Surbiton on Sunday. He was able to get his campaign underway against qualifier Joris De Loore but didn’t know whether the match would go ahead after the horrific killings.
The tournament held a minute of silence for the three victims ahead of play on Wednesday. And Murray said there were things bigger than tennis as he reacted to the incident on Tuesday.
“It was obviously shocking when I woke up this morning and when I was going down to breakfast a few messages on our team chat came up,” the top seed said. The three-time Grand Slam champion had been in the area hours before the attack took place.
