The house blessing is crooked, said Andy Murray a few days ago in a curious video message on social media. The reason: The Scotsman lost his wedding ring when he tried to air his foul-smelling shoes under his car after training. And there he forgot his wedding ring, which the three-time Grand Slam winner usually wears tied in his shoe laces in matches. Which also changed hands when someone used Murray's shoes.
An incident that did not make the preparation for the ATP Masters event in Indian Wells easier for the Scotsman, as he had to take care of a number of off-court agendas: "As soon as I noticed that my shoe was missing, I contacted them Lost and found, I also called the hotel a couple of times but no one knew anything. No one found anything. I thought I lost it. I wanted to file a complaint with the police to get it back, " Murray said on Friday.
