He likes a joke, and many things he says are taken out of context.

In 2006 Murray caused an uproar during a match between him and Kenneth Carlsen. Murray was first given a warning for racket abuse then he stated that he and Carlsen had "played like women" during the first set.[209] Murray was heavily booed for the remainder of the interview, but explained later that the comment was in jest to what Svetlana Kuznetsova had said at the Hopman Cup.[210] A few months later Murray was fined $2,500 for swearing at the umpire during a Davis Cup doubles rubber with Serbia and Montenegro. Murray refused to shake hands with the umpire at the end of the match.[211]

In 2007 Murray suggested that tennis had a match fixing problem, stating that everyone knows it goes on,[212] in the wake of the investigation surrounding Nikolay Davydenko.[213] Both Davydenko and Rafael Nadal questioned his comments, but Murray responded that his words had been taken out of context.[214]

In 2008 Murray withdrew from a Davis Cup tie, leading his brother to question his heart for the competition.[215]
