In a post-match interview, Murray opened up about the loss of his beloved grandmother and expressed his regret at not being able to attend her funeral.

A Caring Gesture

Murray's emotions were touched further when he discovered that a 90-year-old woman in the crowd was attending her first live tennis match. In a generous act, Murray promised to give her a "sweaty t-shirt" as a birthday gift. Despite his personal grief, he showed his kind nature and made the day memorable for a fan.

An Emotional Moment
