Andy Murray claims hotel maid entered his room, stroked his arm while he was sleeping and followed him to matches

Andy Murray has described how he was followed by a hotel maid he says entered his room while he was sleeping and later appeared at hotels close to two subsequent tournaments. 

The Scottish Wimbledon Champion recalled the “extreme” behaviour of a woman after being asked what the “craziest” thing a fan had done during his career. 

The 29-year-old recalled the incident while promoting the International Premier Tennis League, according to ESPN.

He said: “At one of the tournaments I played, a maid in the hotel ... I had a 'do not disturb' sign on, on the door, and she came in and sat on my bed and started stroking my arm at about seven in the morning when I was still sleeping, and then turned up at a couple more tournaments in the hotels that I was playing at in Rotterdam and Barcelona.

“I don't know if that's a fan thing - that's a bit extreme - but that happened."
