Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray had ‘terrible’ short-lived rap career they’d rather forget that even had Stormzy cracking up

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have had stellar careers on the tennis court, but there is one chapter off it they would probably rather forget.

That is their very short-lived rap careers…

The pair both appeared on the Bryan Brothers’ song Autograph and yes they both did rap on it.

Identical twins Bob and Mike Bryan are the most successful men’s double pairing of all-time, winning 16 Grand Slam titles and Olympic Gold in 2012.

The pair also had a foray into the music industry when they launched their song Autograph in 2009.

They roped in Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray for help too, something they would probably rather forget about.

Djokovic even performed the song live at the US Open back in 2010.

His verse goes: “From Melbourne to Paris, London to New York.

“The fans start flocking when I step off the court.

“My name is the Joker and I sign with a smile.

“Get me some water, I’ll be here a while.”

Meanwhile Murray raps: “During Wimbledon, it really gets crazy. My hands cramps up and my mind gets hazy.

“I sign and sign but the line doesn’t end, wake me up tomorrow and we’ll do it all again. Autograph.”

Murray, who won Wimbledon twice, cringed whenever he was asked about it and explained the story behind it.

He told the BBC: “It was the Bryans, who are the doubles team on tour, did a rap song and I did a verse.

“I was awful.”

The clip was even played out during The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV in front of Stormzy, who said: “It’s not bad that.”

All the time Murray was cringing as his verse was played out.

When that song was recorded, Djokovic had won just one Grand Slam. Fast forward to today and he has 24 to his name.

That could soon be 25 as he takes on Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s Wimbledon final.

The 37-year-old had knee surgery just a month ago, but knows there is history on the line.

He will surpass Margaret Court in terms of total Grand Slams won and also tie Roger Federer for male player with the most singles titles at Wimbledon (eight).

“This year hasn’t been that successful for me. It’s probably the weakest results the first six months I’ve had in many years,” he said.

“At Wimbledon, historically, there have been seasons where I wasn’t maybe playing at a desired level but then I would win a Wimbledon title and then things would change.

“Wimbledon just extracts the best of me and motivates me to really always show up and perform the best I can.

“Of course, I’m aware of what’s on the line. Any grand slam that I play, there’s always history now on the line. I will try to use that as a fuel to play my best tennis.”
