Pro players log a lot of miles. Frequent flyers, they find often find themselves living real-life versions of Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Thus it's no surprise when they sporadically enter silly situations in their travels. Jamie Murray weathered—or rather relished—one to call his own this week in Melbourne. Taking the fall for it was his No. 1–ranked brother, Andy Murray.

One: It's good to know that the home city of the season's first major event, the Australian Open, has Uber readily available. Two: Let it be known that Andy suffered no ill will here. Everybody wins when brotherly love turns into a good Twitter ribbing.

Meanwhile, Andy himself opined recently that his wife, Kim Sears, now a lady in the British Royal Order, will need to temper her swearing in light of her national standing.

In short, Andy the Elder has bigger fish to fry as he continues his run for a first Australian Open title.
