Andy Murray finally talks about the Wimbledon controversy?
Earlier, the 2-time Wimbledon champion, Andy Murray took to Twitter to express his opinion in a series of tweets.

Me and my friends love football and non of us know or care how many ranking points a team gets for winning the @FIFAWorldCup.? ?

?But I could tell you exactly who won the World Cup and the Masters. I?d hazard a guess that most people watching on centre court @Wimbledon in a few weeks time wouldn?t know or care about how many ranking points a player gets for winning a 3rd round match,? the British player further wrote.?
Finally, Murray said, ?But I guarantee they will remember who wins. @Wimbledon will never be an exhibition and will never feel like an exhibition. The end.?
Notably, the former Wimbledon champion missed the Roland Garros to focus on Wimbledon and the entire grass-court season. However, he did play the Madrid Open earlier after receiving a wild card.?
