Andy Murray lost his tennis shoes along with his wedding ring

The former World No.1 had a horrible night just ahead of his match. Surprisingly, Andy Murray lost his tennis shoes and wedding ring in a car. Very often, Murray tied his wedding ring with the shoes, as it gets difficult to play with the wedding ring on his hand.

After this bizarre incident, Murray shared this story via Instagram and requested the people to provide any update regarding his stolen tennis shoes and wedding ring.

Murray started by saying, “Basically last night after dinner here in Indian Wells, I got back in the car to go back to the hotel and the car didn’t smell great. Basically, I’d left my tennis shoes there. It’s been 38-39 degrees, so my tennis shoes are pretty damp and sweaty and smelly, basically.”

Moreover, he added, “I decided when I got back to the hotel that the shoes needed some air and I needed to dry them out a little bit. So I have no balcony in my room and didn’t want to leave them in my room cause it would stink the room up so I thought, ‘I’m going to leave the shoes underneath the car’… When I got back to the car in the morning, the shoes were gone.”

Andy Murray then started his training when his physio asked about his wedding ring. To this, he replied, “Oh, no”

“I basically tie my wedding ring to my tennis shoes when I am playing because I can’t play with it on my hand. So, yeah, my wedding ring has been stolen again.” he concluded.
