The British tennis legend, Andy Murray concluded the grass court season with two ATP Challenger Tour titles in his bag. Now, the 36-year-old tennis star will be marking his participation in the forthcoming event, Citi Open. Prior to the commencement of the outdoor hardcourt tournament, he recently showcased his competitive side, however, in a totally disparate game, UNO.

Prior to the commencement of the tournament, the tennis pair was recently in a heated UNO battle. It came to the public lens when Andy Murray shared a video clip of their card game on his Instagram stories.
It later got him involved in banter with his brother, Jamie when he was spotted taking out all the skip and the go cards from the deck. Taking note of the same, the younger brother said, “Why? Because I’m pumping you?”
The 37-year-old player argued, “No, I was 2 games up” as he refused to accept defeat in the cards game. But as he announced the result of their total card games, the seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion eventually conceded defeat with a heavy heart.

In another video, the former Wimbledon champion reiterated his previous remarks about “pumping” his older brother. Andy said, “So, we can both agree that I pumped you”
Later, Jamie finally accepted his defeat as he revealed it was the younger one who prevailed 4-3 in their total card games. The 36-year-old tennis star was once again quite blunt in reminding his brother about his dominating ‘UNO’ victory. Andy said, “So I pumped you?” In order to justify his defeat, Jamie asserted that the game was entirely based on cards rather than any strategy or skills. He said, “It was a convincing last two games, but it is all about the cards, really. There’s not much skill to it.”
