If an advert is to be believed Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and former World No. 1 Novak Djokovic have reportedly been taken hostage and ordered to play the greatest tennis match ever.
In an advert for racket maker Head, who sponsor both Murray and Djokovic, the pair of aces are shown being held hostage by a flash American gangster and ordered to play the world's greatest tennis match.
According to the Mirror, the advert shows the tennis duo being driven through a desert with hoods over their heads after which they are bundled out of the car and met by a cigar-toking crime boss outside his luxury home and next to his outdoor pool.
The gangster tells Murray and Djokovic that he is sorry about this 'little inconvenience', but it his little girl's birthday and he thought that it would be a nice surprise for the duo to play a match for her.
The gangster can be seen saying that there would be a match for the entertainment of this kid now and they better make sure it's the 'ultimate match'.
