Andy Murray described as "ordinary" in BBC documentary

Murray 'ordinary' in BBC doc

British number one Andy Murray has given an insight into his "ordinary" life through a documentary for the BBC.

The Scotsman, who is often considered to give off a miserable persona, allowed Jo McCusker and a team of cameras to follow him around for a year.

"You don't see anything flash because he doesn't do anything flash," McCusker told the Radio Times. "He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't go out. And it all comes back to one word, mentioned by everyone we spoke to - ordinary.

"He is very different to the guy you see in action. He's laid-back, polite and witty, he has a droll sense of humour. But he is completely focused on his game and goals, which can make him appear aloof."

The documentary Andy Murray: The Man Behind the Racquet will air on BBC One on June 23.
