Andy Murray's daughter Sophia is unlikely to follow in his footsteps if her first reaction to a tennis racket is anything to go by.


The world no. 1 revealed he gave 16-month-old Sophia a mini-racket, which she promptly threw in the bin. Murray's wife Kim and Sophia are with him in Paris.


Asked in an interview with Eurosport if his daughter was showing any interest in tennis, Murray said: "I think she kind of recognises me when I'm on the TV. I have a video on my phone where I have a little mini racket which I tried to give to her and she literally grabbed it, kind of looked at it and just walked over and put it straight in the bin.

"So I'm not sure she's going to be into it so much. But it's great my family's here."
