Andy Murray's mum Judy shared a heart-warming moment with a young tennis fan at the Australian Open.
Judy had been at Melbourne Park to watch her son Andy in action in his third round clash against Roberto Bautista Agut on Saturday.
The former world No. 1 had proven to be the star of the show in the opening week in Melbourne - having secured two famous five-set victories over Matteo Berrettini and Thanasi Kokkinakis in round one and two.
His remarkable run finally came to an end over the weekend though as he fell to a 6-1, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 defeat against Spanard Bautista Agut.
Despite the defeat, his mother Judy was still able to come away from the Melbourne arena with a small smile on her face, after sharing a heartfelt moment with a youngster. The 63-year-old has of course played a huge role in her son's success on the court.
And this has clearly resonated with fans, as a young boy - whose mum is his tennis coach - asked Judy for tips on being like her son. Sharing the moment on Twitter, she wrote: "Today at @ausopen, a little boy (maybe about 10) came up to me.
"He said “excuse me Mrs Murray. This is my mum and she’s my coach. Could you please tell her how to help me to play like Andy?" Whilst Judy was no doubt proud of her son's efforts, Murray himself had a sense of pride too, despite his tournament exit.

Speaking post-match, he said: "I feel like I gave everything that I had to this event. So I'm proud of that. You can't always control the outcome. You can't control how well you're going to play or the result.
"You can control the effort that you put into it, and I gave everything that I had the last three matches. But, yeah, I'm also disappointed because I put loads of work into the beginning of this year and was playing well enough to have a really good run, have a deep run."
