Former No. 1 Andy Murray hasn’t played much tennis since Wimbledon, battling a hip injury that required surgery earlier this year. While tennis fans would much rather see Murray on the court at the biggest tournaments, they’ll have to settle for his social media presence, which is arguably just as entertaining.

Here are some highlights:

As the Australian Open got underway, Murray held court for an impromptu Twitter Q&A. Some of his responses were legendary—especially when it came to questions about his mum Judy.

In fact, it seems Murray rarely misses the opportunity to get in a dig at his family.

Unsurprisingly, Judy Murray is every bit his equal when it comes to Twitter barbs.
