Now Murray's in 007 heaven
by paul handler , Manchester Evening News
BRITISH Tennis star Andy Murray already has a licence to thrill at Wimbledon after earning the seal of approval from the ultimate James Bond actor Sean Connery.
Connery joined fellow Scot Sir Chris Hoy in congratulating Murray on his straight sets victory over Serbia's Viktor Troicki. Next up, the 22-year-old faces Swiss star Stanislas Wawrinka today and Murray will be aiming to leave the centre court crowd shaken and stirred once again.
Murray sent out a Twitter feed that read: "Had a call from Sean Connery - he called to say well done yesterday. Much nicer than someone trying to sell you a phone upgrade."
Murray added after his win on Saturday: "He's [Wawrinka] a very solid all-court player. He's got a solid serve, moves well, is good off the baseline.
"He doesn't come to the net too much but he won the Olympic gold doubles, so he can obviously volley reasonably well."
