Murray arrived at Queen’s Club in west London over the weekend and the world number two found time to hit a few balls with Beckham’s offspring before getting down to the serious business of preparation for the grass-court campaign.
Former Man United and England star Beckham is a friend of Murray’s and has watched him play at Wimbledon on several occasions, so the Scot had no problem taking a break for a friendly session with 13-year-old Romeo. “I knew Andy was down here because I spoke to him earlier. But we were just coming down to see if there was any practice going on before the tournament starts. It was something that was a big plus for Romeo,” Beckham said on the Aegon Championships podcast.
“Romeo’s a member here now. So we came down to see a few of the guys practising and obviously it’s great for him. He was playing against me this morning! So it’s tougher now against Andy!”
