Andy Murray lands first silverware since retiring from tennis as he honours late friend
It’s the first running of an inaugural event to pay tribute for a sadly missed sports writer.
ANDY MURRAY got his hands on his first piece of silverware since retiring from tennis as he paid tribute to late friend and colleague on the golf course.
The 37-year-old Scot was taking part in the first annual British Tennis Journalists’ Association Mike Dickson golf day at Hanbury Manor.
It’s been organised to pay tribute to revered late tennis writer Mike Dickson, who passed away suddenly last January whilst working at the Australian Open.
A touchstone throughout the Scot’s career in tennis, it was fitting that the 37-year-old should be the first recipient of the trophy.
He’s been getting plenty of practice in on the golf course since bidding farewell to tennis at the Olympics – not to mention that emotional send off from Wimbledon before that.
