Wimbledon champion Andy Murray's attempt to prank everyone reportedly went unnoticed as he placed his April Fools' joke very carefully.

Everyone reportedly missed the joke, as it was so carefully placed, making everyone think that the actual scam was Murray's announcement about his hotel.

According to the Independent, the real quip about Murray's joke was far less obvious as the Wimbledon champion has really just opened a 15-bedroom Victorian building Cromlix, three miles from his hometown Dunblane in Scotland.

The bottom-line of the April Fools' joke was that Murray did not announce a new tennis coach, the report added.

The Scot's attempt at humour reportedly fell on deaf ears again, as he used his split from his long-time coach Ivan Lendl a few weeks ago, which no doubt served as the context from his quip.

 

However, Murray did not give any punchline behind his attempt at humour, which saw just a few gullible tweeters and confused looking sports journalists, the report added.
