Andy Murray has labelled tennis star Liam Broady a ‘spanner’ during the pair’s latest social media spat.
The duo are no strangers to an online disagreement, with Murray and Broady having locked horns online several times before.
Their latest exchange focused on a post sent by Broady about a child playing on their tablet during a flight.
Broady said on X: “There’s a kid on this flight with an iPad, watching a tv show in the top left corner of the screen with subtitles on.
“All whilst playing a video game on the full screen. Is this me getting old thinking that’s unhealthy for their brain?”
Murray, sensing an opportunity to get one over on Broady, replied: “I remember once seeing this kid playing a computer game in the lobby of a hotel in Antwerp on his laptop, headphones on with microphone attached.”
Before finishing off with a subtle dig aimed Broady’s way: “Speaking to his friends whilst using WhatsApp with his free hand. His name was Liam broady and look how he turned out… Spanner.”
Broady did appear to take it in good humour though, responding: “Guilty as charged,” accompanied by a tongue-sticking-out emoji for good measure.
