Word games

ANDY Murray apparently views every opponent as a tasty snack.

Murray spent Thursday evening trying to come up with variations of player names to make them sound like food items, and then posted his best suggestions on Twitter.

“Tennis player-snack name game going on,” Murray wrote. “Lleyton chewit, james flake, boris doubledecker, dorito starace. Get thinking ...”

He then updated his feed shortly later, with even more names.

Among them: John MacEnrolo, Juan Martin del Popcorn, Mardy Fishcakes, Prawn Borg and Martina Haggis.

Murray is trying to become the first Briton since Fred Perry in 1936 to win Wimbledon. — AP
