In addition to show matches, the charity event Andy Murray live in Glasgow has a very special treat to offer: fans can afford a private tennis lesson with Andy Murray and Roger Federer with a “small donation” of around 56,000 euros.
“I’m very happy that I got Roger Federer to play in Scotland for the first time,” Murray announced in a statement,”He is looking forward to meeting the enthusiastic Scottish fans.
