APABILA Andy Murray memutuskan menjadi aktor film setelah ia 'menggantung' raket setidaknya wajahnya terlihat pantas 'dipajang' pada poster-poster film.
Petenis nomor satu Inggris ini, dikenal sebagai atlet yang kaku alias bukan pria humoris, sehingga dia diolok-olok sebagai bintang 'Les Muzzerables' dalam guratan pena seniman Nial Smith. Pacar Murray, Kim Sears juga tampil dalam poster, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Selain sebagai 'pemeran utama' dalam karya Smith yang terinspirasi dari novel klasik karya Victor Hugo dan West End mengalahkan Les Miserables, Murray juga digambarkan dalam bentuk patung dalam poster lain, bersama Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic dan Jo Wilfried-Tsonga.
Persaingan ketat di kompetisi Prancis Terbuka, yang dimulai di Roland Garros pada hari Minggu, namun Murray dan para lawannya dimodifikasi menjadi bintang film. Karya poster film Smith juga disertakan merujuk pada film Gladiator, Captain America dan Trainspotting.
Sementara itu, Murray maju ke Grand Slam pertamanya dalam dua setengah tahun tanpa didampingi Ivan Lendl - tapi mantan pelatih asal Ceko itu masih mendampinginya meski tidak tampil berada di dekatnya.
Juara Wimbledon, yang tampil di putaran pertama Perancis Terbuka melawan petenis Kazakhstan, Andrey Golubev, mengaku masih menunggu saran Lendl tentang bagaimana bertanding di lapangan tanah liat Grand Slam.
Murray tampak gagap musim ini, tetapi didukung oleh penampilannya di Roma Jumat pekan lalu, ketika ia hampir mengalahkan raja tanah liat, Nadal, di perempat final.
Keputusan Lendl untuk berhenti melatihnya pada Maret lalu memang mengejutkan petenis asal Skotlandia usia 27 tahun, tetapi hal itu ditengahi keduanya dengan persyaratan yang cukup bersahabat bahwa keduanya tetap saling berkomunikasi.
"Saya sudah mengirim pesan padanya dan dia benar-benar menelepon saya sehari setelah pertandingan saya dengan Rafa di Roma," kata Murray.
"Dia berbicara kepada Dani [Vallverdu, asisten pelatih Murray] dan kemudian memberi beberapa saran penting pada saya. Saya akan meneleponnya lagi untuk ngobrol."
IF ANDY Murray decides to go into acting once he hangs up his racket at least he'll look good on a movie billboard poster.
The British No 1, known for having a dry sense of humour, has been mocked up as the star of 'Les Muzzerables' in the latest piece of work by artist Nial Smith. Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears also makes an appearance.
As well as being the main man in Smith's tribute to the Victor Hugo classic and West End smash Les Miserables, Murray has also been given the statue treatment for another poster, along with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Jo Wilfried-Tsonga.
The latest efforts are for the French Open, which started at Roland Garros on Sunday, but Murray and his rivals have previously been morphed into movie stars. Other works by Smith have included takes on the likes of Gladiator, Captain America and Trainspotting.
Meanwhile, Murray heads into his first Grand Slam in two-and-a-half years without Ivan Lendl in his corner — but his former Czech mentor will still cast a considerable shadow.
The Wimbledon champion, whose French Open first-round match against Kazakhstan’s Andrey Golubev, has revealed he is seeking Lendl’s advice about how to approach the clay-court Grand Slam.
Murray has stuttered this season, but was buoyed by his performance in Rome a week last Friday, when he almost beat the king of clay himself, Nadal, in the quarter-final.
Lendl’s decision to walk out on him in March blindsided the 27-year-old Scot, but it was done on amicable enough terms for the two of them to stay in contact.
‘I’ve messaged him a little bit and he actually called me the day after my match with Rafa in Rome,’ said Murray.
‘He spoke to Dani [Vallverdu, Murray’s assistant coach] and then fired some messages my way. I might call him just to have a little chat.’
