MURRAY’S AMBITIONS PARKED IN FLORIDA
If Andy Murray has another near-miss at Wimbledon this year, the parking sector may fi nd itself shouldering some of the blame. Fortunately for UK parking operators it will be the Pinellas Suncourt Transit Authority of Florida that will feel the wrath of the Scottish tennis star.

improved signifi cantly on clay as a result of the extra practice but that is coming to an end as the court is to be turned into a car park. ‘They’re turning it into a car park in about a week,’ Murray said. ‘It’s a great club. I’m really disappointed they’re closing it down because it’s always busy when we go there, but I guess there’s more money in people parking their cars there than people running around tennis courts. Money talks sometimes, unfortunately.’
