On October 7, 2021, Andy Murray was preparing to compete in the WTA and ATP Masters tournament in Indian Wells, California. However, he had a pressing concern - his wedding ring and shoes had gone missing.
After a social media appeal, Murray's ring and shoes were returned, much to his relief. In a post on Instagram, he expressed his gratitude to his followers for spreading the word.
“Would you believe it — ring and the shoes have come back home!” Murray said in a post from Indian Wells. “They still smell horrific,” he added of the sneakers, “but I’m back in the good books”
Murray had initially asked for help on social media after realising that his wedding ring was tied to his missing shoes. He had left the shoes under his car to dry out overnight, only to find them vanished in the morning.
“I basically tie my wedding ring to my tennis shoes while I’m playing because I can’t play with it on my hand,” Murray explained. “So, yeah, my wedding ring’s been stolen as well. Needless to say, I’m in the bad books at home, so I want to try to find it.”
