In Beijing, ahead of winning a routine first-round match, Andy Murray answered a routine question (what was the craziest thing a fan has done) with an unusual answer.
The Scot said a hotel maid entered his room and stroked his arm, waking him up.
"At one of the tournaments I played, a maid in the hotel ... I had a 'do not disturb' sign on, on the door, and she came in and sat on my bed and started stroking my arm at about 7 in the morning when I was still sleeping, and then turned up at a couple more tournaments in the hotels that I was playing at in Rotterdam and Barcelona," Murray said. "I don't know if that's a fan thing—that's a bit extreme—but that happened."
Disturbing revelation aside, the top seed won his first round over Andreas Seppi 6-2, 7-5. It was his first match since beating Guido Pella in the Davis Cup semifinals two weeks ago. He'll face Andrey Kuznetsov next.
