‘Is This Even Legal?’ Andy Murray’s Match Interrupted by a Drone, a Dog, and a Delivery Guy!
It sounds like the setup for a comedy sketch, but this bizarre chain of events actually unfolded during one of Andy Murray’s matches—and tennis fans are still trying to make sense of it.
It all started at a relatively calm ATP 250 match in the middle of a sunny afternoon. Murray was deep into the second set when a buzzing noise drew everyone’s attention upward. A rogue drone had made its way into the stadium, hovering awkwardly above the court like it was trying to get exclusive footage for some off-brand YouTube vlog. Security scrambled, the umpire paused play, and Murray stood with his arms crossed, staring up like, “Is this real life?”
Just when the drone situation was being dealt with, chaos escalated. From the corner of the court, a small dog—presumably a local fan’s pet—somehow broke free and darted across the baseline. Murray, mid-serve, had to halt again, only to chuckle as the dog made a beeline for his tennis bag like it belonged there. Officials eventually wrangled the pup, but the weirdness didn’t stop.
Moments later, a confused delivery guy walked right onto the court carrying a bag of food, looking for “Andy.” Apparently, a fan had ordered Uber Eats as a joke—and had it delivered to “Centre Court.” Murray couldn’t help but laugh, saying later in the post-match interview, “It wasn’t even the weirdest thing that’s happened to me on court. But yeah… that was a new one.”
The match eventually resumed, but not before the internet turned it into meme gold. As for Murray? Just another day in the life of tennis’s most unintentionally hilarious competitor.
