The pros show off their football skills in Madrid

Sorana Cirstea, Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares all gave soccer bal

Published May 10, 2017

Maybe the new saying should be "When in Madrid"? Sorana Cirstea, Bruno Soares and Jamie Murray all dropped their racquets to embrace Spain's most popular sport: football, or what it's known as in America, soccer.

Cirstea got to meet the Atletic Medrid Femininas, a women's football team in the primera division, and kick around a few balls.

“My football is not my best," the Romanian said. "It’s not something that I’m proud of, but I love football. I watch a lot of football."

Meanwhile the doubles duo of Murray and Soares were inspired by the Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid game on Wednesday.

Cirstea, a wild card entry, reached the quarterfinals, while Murray and Soares are still on track for the title as the No. 3 seeds.
