Andy murrays mum seems to be at every match he plays, unless she has a valid reason, say in his fitness regime, or is his manager, but im not sure i would care to have my mum there all the time.

It has been suggested that it is time for him to cut the apron strings...

[emmie]

humm, looks like some are getting picky. His mother is always at his matches, why?

[emmie]

ok, she does.

[joggerjayne]

Cripes. I can't imagine Mums watching me at work.

I wonder if it stops him being as aggressive as he needs to be ????

[milly143]

Mummys boys. Euugghhh.

[carmalee]

she's part of the team - there's a huge conglomerate that makes up a tennis players retinue - she's a key player in the whole set up -

[joggerjayne]

She should tell him to shave.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so bum fluffy.

[emmie]

I would find it off putting.

[carmalee]

and to answer the original question - if I were an international player and my Mum had done as much as Andy's Mum had then she would forever be welcome on my tour.

[milly143]

She could give him a hint about the mop on his head too.

Thinking about it, there are quite a few sportsman who are seemingly stalked by their own parents. Lewis Hamilton was by his father, until he told him to take a hike, so he did, straight over to another team.

[emmie]

How is she part of the set up, i know he has a lot of people looking after his fitness etc.

[carmalee]

she coached him from year dot - fairly basic but essential I'd say

[emmie]

is that still the case. I know there have been other tennis players coached by a parent, wondered why she goes to all his matches, i just thought it rather strange.

[anneasquith]

its hardly strange,,,,, the williams sister^s always have family support. if my child was no. 4 in the world of tennis. id be there, his father also supports him , is that strange ?

[rowanwitch]

It must be reassuring to have even one parent who supports you and takes pride in what you do

[emmie]

well it is to me

[cazzz1975]

does it matter? its obviously not hampering his game and its nice when your family can give you that support

[cazzz1975]

I dont think its strange at all, tiger woods dad used to attend all his games before he died, the williams sisters families are present at their games

why is that strange?
