The world's No.1 golfer, Rory McIlroy, posted a photograph on social media on Tuesday of his cast-laden foot and Andy Murray's Wimbledon quarterfinal with Canadian Vasek Pospisil on the TV in the background.
McIlroy's message was simple: "Come on Andy!" He also announced he would be pulling out his title defence at next week's Open Championship, having torn ligaments in his ankle playing soccer with friends on Saturday.
Murray, Britain's No.1 tennis player, came through his match in straight sets to set up a mouth-watering last-four tie with Roger Federer, and was asked about not only McIlroy, but Jordan Spieth too.
Spieth has already won the Masters and U.S. Open this year and will look to complete the third leg of a calendar Grand Slam at St Andrews, something Murray says will be "great to see".
"Jordan Spieth has had an incredible year so far," Murray, a well-known golf fan, told reporters at Wimbledon. "The thing I'd say that is most impressive about him is how composed he is in general. You hear him speak, for such a young guy, he seems extremely composed. "I'd imagine he's got a decent shot at the Open. I read that maybe he wasn't preparing the right way. He was, I think, playing a tournament in the States this week rather than coming over early to prepare for the Open."
Like Spieth, Serena Williams, the No.1 tennis player in the women's game, is also in with a shot of a Grand Slam, having won the Australian and French Opens already.
On the feat, Murray added: "It's pretty incredible. I think it's obviously a very hard thing to do I guess in either of the sports. Golf may be slightly harder, because it seems like more people can win there.
"If you have one or two horrendous holes, you're pretty much out of it, whereas in tennis you can play a terrible set and still come back. "But they're obviously extremely difficult to do it in both. It would be great to see."
Murray, who admitted he sometimes plays soccer after hearing the news about McIlroy, had a message in return for the Northern Irishman.
"It's a huge shame," he said. "But accidents happen and hopefully he'll be back soon."
