Grandmother Banned From Andy Murray’s Wimbledon Semi-Final
This is sad, to be considered a jinx by your own daughter.
GRANDMA JINX: Andy Murray’s grandmother has been banned from the guest box at Wimbledon – by her own daughter.
Judy Murray is worried that her own mom, Shirley Erskine, will jinx Andy, who is trying to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the tournament.
Murray lost his last three matches attended by his grandmother – each time on his birthday.
“She is clearly a jinx and I’m not taking her again,” Judy Murray told the Daily Express.
Murray comfortably beat Spanish wild card Juan Carlos Ferrero 7-5, 6-3, 6-2 Wednesday to reach his first Wimbledon semifinal – without Erskine at Centre Court.
However, grandma is still hoping to be let in for the semifinals.
“I’m trying to convince the family I’m not a jinx, because I want to be down there cheering Andy on,” Erskine said. “If I could do anything to bring Andy good luck, I would.”
