He kept shouting RUBBISH!’ Andy Murray says son, 3, trolled him during Nottingham Open

‘He kept shouting “Rubbish!”‘ Andy Murray reveals he was trolled by his SON, 3, at Nottingham Open – but admits he still hopes Wimbledon will bend rules and let his four kids watch him at SW19

Andy Murray is hoping SW19 officials will bend the rules and let his four children in to watch him play when Wimbledon begins in July – after they proved a good luck charm in Nottingham.

However, the British tennis star, who crashed out 6-3, 6-1 to Alex De Minaur at Queen’s yesterday, admitted that his toddler son Teddie, three, might not be the most encouraging family member in the crowd – saying he was heckled by him during his Nottingham Open final win on Father’s Day.

He told BBC Sports man John Watson: ‘I don’t know if I would want my three-year-old boy [there] – my wife was saying that for the first 15 minutes, every time I hit a ball into the net, he was just going “Rubbish, rubbish!”‘

He added: ‘They’ve never all been to watch before so I think they snuck in around the middle of the second set when things were going my way.’

However, the 36-year-old tennis star, who’s now likely to face a high seed in the early rounds at Wimbledon after his loss at Queen’s, said it would be nice to get his four children – Sophia, seven, Edie, five, Teddy, three, and Lola, two – on Centre Court to watch him.

He said: ‘Kids aren’t allowed to come in and watch the matches there. Maybe for that they [Wimbledon] would make an exception.

Murray added: ‘I thought that it would be nice for them to come along and watch when they get to an age where they understand what I do a little – but I don’t think they could care less to be honest.’

The current rules at the All England Club allow children of all ages into Wimbledon but crucially not on the show courts including Centre Court and courts No.1, No.2, No.3, 12 and 18.
