As Andy Murray continues to prepare for the 2019 season, the British tennis star found some time while stuck in traffic to answer the questions the fans are itching to ask.

The 31-year-old, who has won three grand slam titles in his career, has been recovering from hip surgery and hopes to make a strong return in January.

But what did he have to say to his 1.5 million Instagram followers? Murray took to Instagram Stories to enlighten them.

2. He leaves his Christmas shopping late.

Murray also joked he would “probably not” return to the Citi Open in Washington next year, after he was criticised by the tournament director for withdrawing from his 2018 quarter-final, citing exhaustion.

4. He knows his biscuits.
