Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have had many on court battles with the former coming out on top 25 times, 14 more than the latter. Andy Murray may have been sidelined from the tennis calendar for a while now due to injuries, but it did not stop him from challenging fellow players and fans while being confined to his home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The former World number 1, has come up with a ‘100-volley challenge’ along with his wife where the objective is to volley with a partner hundred times within the confines of your home or backyard.
A challenge to all tennis players and fans... The 💯 volley challenge. There was no bickering during the filming of the video 🙄, although I think the last volley was aimed at my head... I can't be the only one that wants to see Rog and Mirka hitting a few balls together...🎾 pic.twitter.com/c0lMnNuSSQ
