Andy Murray couldn’t help but laugh on Thursday when tennis player Sebastian Korda shared a never-before-seen photo of him sporting long curly hair.
Taking to Instagram, American tennis player Sebastian shared two photos, one of him and Andy playing a doubles match at the Miami Open last week and another taken during his childhood, showing him in a tennis court alongside a very young-looking Andy.
The incredible post showed what many fans of Sebastian have now described as a “beautiful full-circle moment” – from Andy’s fan to his colleague.
Andy’s reaction shows that the tennis star remains in great spirits despite the ankle injury he suffered last week and which forced him to pull out of the doubles match he was set to play alongside Sebastian at the Miami Open.
Taking to his Instagram following the incident, he told his fans on social media: “Yesterday towards the end of my match in Miami I suffered a full rupture of my ATFL [anterior talofibular ligament] and near full thickness rupture of my CFL [calcaneofibular ligament]. I will see an ankle specialist when I return home to determine next steps.
“Goes without saying this is a tough one to take and I’ll be out for an extended period. But I’ll be back with 1 hip and no ankle ligaments when the time is right.”
Andy’s long curls are no surprise to tennis fans that have followed his career since the beginning. The Scot has often favoured wearing his hair long, but for many years now has opted for a shorter style, and it’s all thanks to his wife Kim.
