The Murray brothers, Andy and Jamie, recently showcased their competitive spirit off the tennis court during a lively game of Uno. Known for their success in the tennis world, with Andy having secured three Grand Slam singles titles, including Wimbledon victories in 2013 and 2016, and Jamie boasting seven Grand Slam titles in doubles and mixed doubles, their rivalry extends beyond the professional arena.
Ahead of the Citi Open in Washington, D.C., the brothers engaged in a series of Uno games during their downtime. Andy took to Instagram to share moments from their games, highlighting their light-hearted yet fierce competition. In one video, Jamie is seen meticulously sifting through the cards. When Andy questioned him, Jamie responded, “Just taking out the skip the go cards,” to which Andy quipped, “Why? Because I’m pumping you?”
The banter continued in another clip where Andy said, “So, we can both agree that I pumped you?” Jamie, maintaining his composure, acknowledged, “You beat me 4-3, total games.” However, he added, “It was a convincing last two games, but it is all about the cards, really. There’s not much skill to it,” downplaying Andy’s victory.
This playful exchange is a testament to their enduring competitiveness, whether on or off the court. Their dynamic is not only entertaining but also highlights the close bond they share despite their rivalry.
As they prepare for the Citi Open, Jamie and his doubles partner, Michael Venus, are set to face Grigor Dimitrov and Nicolas Mahut in the first round. Meanwhile, Andy, who is yet to learn his singles opponent, will join forces with Dan Evans for the doubles event.
The Murrays’ playful Uno rivalry adds a personal touch to their professional personas, illustrating that their competitive drive is as strong in casual games as it is in high-stakes tennis matches. Fans eagerly await their performance at the Citi Open, hoping to see the same spirited competition on the court.
