Tommy Haas: 'Andy Murray is a faker'

Former Wimbledon semi-finalist Tommy Haas has accused Andy Murray of faking injury on the tennis court.

Virginia Wade branded the British number one a "drama queen" after he called for the trainer during his second-round victory over Jarkko Nieminen at the French Open.

Haas, who has been defeated by the Scot in two of their three meetings, has now had his say.

"It's tough when you play against someone who is on the court like he is not well or is injured," explained Haas.

"I find no-one does this better than Andy, from time to time. Sometimes he looks like he can barely move, then the trainer comes and suddenly he moves like a cat.

"Everyone knows this now. People talk about it in the locker room."

Murray will begin the defence of his Queen's title in the second round against Nicolas Mahut later today.
