Andy Murray, Jamie Murray and others wish 100 year old a Happy Birthday

Iris Fischer turned 100 years old on July 30th and she had a memorable birthday. Fischer is being taken care of at her home by care staff from  Right At Home Solent during the pandemic. But her 100th birthday turned out to be a memorable affair as friends and family surprised her outside her home with balloons, cakes, flowers, according to Portsmouth.

Iris is an big tennis and snooker fan and the team at Right at Home managed to organize birthday messages for Iris from the Murray brothers - Andy and Jamie as well as snooker stars Stephen Hendry and John Higgins.

The Right at Home posted a message on Twitter a few weeks ago asking for help on social media to get some messages for Iris from her favourite tennis and snooker players. The word did get around through social media channels and Judy Murray was able to send a Happy Birthday message from the Union Jacks team for her. A great gesture from the team as well as the snooker stars and the entire team at Right at Home.

The three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray has been handed a wild card for the Western & Southern Open in New York which is taking place as a warm-up for the US Open Grand Slam event. Murray has won the Western & Southern Open in 2008 and 2011. The hard-court event is usually held in Cincinnati but has been moved to New York so that players can be in one location for two tournaments and can be in a bubble as they compete in the tournaments. Murray has said he also plans to play the US Open since he does not have too many chances to play the Grand Slams but also said that it was important to ensure that players coming back to Europe do not have to be in quarantine and that insurance is put in place for the players and their support staff while they are in New York. The 33-year-old Murray has had two hip operations and hasn’t played an official tour match since the end of the last season.
