When Kevin Spacey asks Andy Murray "Why the WWF?” you can rest assured that he's not talking about the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment).

In the video, Murray notes that about 4,000 tigers abide in the wild these days, and Spacey adds that that total is less than one-third of the number of seats at the All England Club's Centre Court.

He beat a fellow Brit, Liam Broady, to reach the second round at Wimbledon. Even so, he's a marked man at SW19, with each additional man he faces eager to take him down. Good thing this one's got the eye of the tiger.
