Andy Murray, the former world No.1, won his second consecutive tournament on Sunday — unbeknownst to him with his No. 1 fans in attendance.
The British tennis star clenched the Nottingham Open by beating Frenchman Arthur Cazaux, 6-4, 6-4, in the final.

“Hopefully, I’ll get in before their bedtime, get a rest day in tomorrow, get pumped for Queens,” he continued.
No sooner did he hear cheering and cries of “we’re here” from the stands, look up and see his his four children waving at him from the crowd.
“Oh my God,” Murray said. “I had no idea they were here. I had no idea they were coming.”
According to Murray, the full family made the trek to Surbiton last week for the final but headed home for bedtime before the conclusion of the match.
