Andy Murray has taken on a mentoring role to many of Britain's brightest young talents, so it was no surprise to see Liam Broady thank the Scot following his first grand slam win on the opening day of Wimbledon.
Two-time grand slam winner Murray was quick to congratulate British No.5 Broady on Twitter after the 21-year-old came back from two sets down to beat Marinko Matosevic in thrilling fashion on Court 18.
Well done @Liambroady 👊😃👍big comeback win

The world No.182 had never even been to five sets before on tour, but made the most of his wild card entry to beat a player ranked 44 places higher than himself 5-7, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3.
He revealed speaking to Murray has helped improve his game - although quipped he has never been invited to train in Miami because he was "terrible" when he first practised with the Scot in the Davis Cup set-up.
"To be able to learn from one of the best players of our era is invaluable," Broady told the BBC. "He does it for all of our guys. He just wants to help British tennis players. He doesn't have to do it but he does."
Broady added in his press conference: "It's just good to be around Andy. He really puts his time back into the game. Yeah, it's just fantastic.
"I've never been out to Miami. That's probably because of the time I had practised with him before [in the] Davis Cup, and I was actually pretty terrible.
"Obviously you've got to be a pretty good player to play with Andy and I was quite nervous around him. At Davis Cup, I had a chance to practice with him a bit again. I was a bit better."
Broady is now guaranteed a cheque for at least £47,000 with Belgium's David Goffin up next on Wednesday.
"I'm not sure how much I believed I could win a round of Wimbledon before today, even going into the match," he said. "But I knew that belief didn't really matter as long as I focused on point by point, both of our games, just sort of let the confidence slide to the side."
He added: "It's exciting. I wanted the crowd to have something to get into. I like interacting with the crowd. I like them being there to push me on. I think that's what happened today.
"It does add a bit of a feel-good factor to the first day, a Brit pulling through with the crowd so engaged like they were. I don't know. I'm not going to overestimate. Andy is worlds apart."
