Andy Murray invited former detained author Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who had previously watched his Wimbledon victory from an Iranian prison seven years ago, to be his special guest at Centre Court
Sir Andy Murray expressed his delight at the presence of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who witnessed his Wimbledon triumph from an Iranian prison in 2016, attending one of his matches on Centre Court this year. The British-Iranian dual national was released in March 2020 after being detained for six years.
Murray and Zaghari-Ratcliffe crossed paths in December of last year, where she shared her experience of watching his Wimbledon win while in solitary confinement. She described how it provided a "connection" to the outside world and served as an "escape" from her confinement.
