Andy Murray's craziest moment: Stalked by a hotel maid

Andy Murray's craziest moment: Stalked by a hotel maid

So you're world No. 2 Andy Murray, two-time Olympic champion and defending Wimbledon champ. And one morning, you wake up to some stranger stroking your arm.

So Murray told a rep of the International Premier Tennis League in one of the circuit's promotional "Up Close & Personal" segments, when asked about the "craziest thing a fan has ever said or done" around him.

In his case: a hotel maid who got a little too close for comfort, then followed him around the tennis tour for a couple more stops:

"I had the do not disturb sign on the door, and she came in and sat on my bed and started stroking my arm at about 7 in the morning, when I was still sleeping, and then turned up at a couple more tournaments, in the hotels, I was playing at in Rotterdam and Barcelona. I don't know if that's a fan thing, but that's a bit extreme. That happened."

The Guardian notes that tennis tours have tightened security in recent years, particularly for leading women who've been suspected to be stalked. Murray didn't say any more about the incident, but it's a good guess he's got more than a "do not disturb" sign on his door now.
