ANDY Murray has been scripted to finally win the only tennis tournament that actually counts.
Murray, whose gold medal at last year’s Olympics will look good in the montage, will also have a stormy romance which will be resolved at the same moment as his Centre Court triumph.
A spokesman for the Lawn Tennis Association said: “The rank-outsider winning Wimblodeon is a bit far-fetched so we’ve invented a backstory about him winning a made-up tournament in America, where they dont even play tennis.
Obviously it’s a shame he’s Scottish, but we’ve got Rupert Everett in to do the overdub when he’s taking to Sue Barker.”
According to the script, Murray progresses to the semi-finals while having the time of his life off-court with new love Strawberry St Cream, played by Carey Mulligan in a big white floppy hat and a short skirt.
They meet when she is serving tea in china cups on the top deck of a Routemaster, have their first date in a quirky restaurant behind the face of Big Ben, and share their first kiss while skinnydipping in the sparkling blue waters of the Thames.
The spokesman added: But the romance hits the rocks when he finds out she used to date his swarthy rival, Diablo Nadal. When he discovers red clay smeared on her bedsheets he wrongly assumes theyve been at it again.
I wont spoil the ending, but lets just say that hes lucky in love and overcomes Diablo’s blatant cheating to win a thrilling finale.
“Unfortunately a bit with Cliff Richard singing in the Royal Box had to be cut because Cliffs in hospital for his 150,000 mile bowel change, so weve got Dizzee Rascal instead.
A subplot with Tim Henman as Murrays curmudgeonly old mentor has been cut because, according to an insider, ‘he couldnt even do that right’.
