WATCH: Andy Murray’s Christmas dinner choice scandalises Mary Berry
Andy Murray left television chef and former Great British Bake Off judge Mary Berry speechless after presenting his Christmas dinner menu.
Murray made a guest appearance on the BBC show Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas Special, where Berry showed the former world No 1 how to make smoked haddock kedgeree for the holidays.
When Berry asked Murray what he generally eats for his personal Christmas meal, Murray’s response startled her.
“The family will have turkey, roast potatoes, all that stuff,” Murray said.
“But I’ve started having sushi.
“It’s my favourite meal, so…” Murray continued.
Berry had no initial response before saying: “It’s no comment, okay?”
Murray, a father of four, also told Berry that his seven-year-old son was not a fan of his dad jokes – until he tried one on her.
“What time does Andy Murray go to bed?” he inquired.
Berry, however, did not respond, so he put her out of her agony.
He came back, “Ten-ish.”
Berry’s response was unconvinced: “Ten-ish.” Okay.”
She appeared to be as taken with the comedy as Murray Jr.
Murray was gutted with the way his Wimbledon campaign ended this season as a standout low in a tough season.
Murray feels that the tour is tough for everybody and you can’t allow results to dictate how you feel about your game.
“It’s hard because ultimately, I would say in maybe certain events or certain periods of the year, it’s easier to not ignore the results, but not place too much emphasis on them,” Murray told ATPTour.com.
“But obviously when you play in the major competitions, they are the ones that ultimately you want to perform well in and that you will get judged on and at Wimbledon, it really wasn’t like I played a really bad match against Tsitsipas. So when I reflect on that tournament, I’m disappointed with the result.
“But there’s still signs for me there that from a tennis perspective I can still compete and win against the top players in the world, even though I lost that match. If I’d gone out and lost 6-1, 6-1, 6-1, I played terribly and lost comfortably, the stage of my career that I’m at, maybe I’d start to look at things a bit differently.”
Murray feels that while he is making progress he will have the motivation to keep playing.
“Obviously, the game always keeps evolving, keeps improving, and you need to do that as well as a player. And I enjoy that. It’s one of the things that motivates me — trying to improve — whether that’s on the court or in the gym,” Murray said.
“Like seeing my scores in the gym are improving or that my speed is getting a bit better, or [that] I’m serving at a slightly higher percentage or harder, I love that. It’s one of the great things about tennis in that that’s kind of down to me and my team. I can make that those changes if I want to, and if I’m willing to put the work in, and I still enjoy that.”
