When a reporter asks if the team will be hitting the town in Glasgow after their 3-2 victory, Murray jokes that doubles player Dominic Inglot has a girlfriend there, which leads to Inglot squirming and saying he actually does have a girlfriend watching at home.

Murray laughs uncontrollably when this is revealed, and it is pretty clear he was just teasing Inglot and not actually revealing any infidelities, but he might want to help his teammate clear the situation up back home just to be safe.

Evolution of Tennis Fashion: Andy Murray

1999

The clothes may change but the facial expressions do not. Here is Murray at 12-years-old.

2001

Here he is two years later. Still hasn't grown into that shirt.

2002

Murray dressed like a kite at Wimbledon.

2004

The sponsorship deals start to roll in. Murray has patches for the Royal Bank of Scotland and Highlight Springs water on his kit. And this was while he was still a junior.

2004

Murray wins the junior U.S. Open title with that hair. And yes, that's Sergiy Stakhovsky.

2005

If he didn't know who Fred Perry was before 2005, he did now at the French Open. Murray signs on to wear Fred Perry.

Thankfully the headband look (previous photo) didn't last long.

Umbrella, strawberries and cream, and Fred Perry. It doesn't get any more British than this.

2005

Uh...anyway.

2005

To track Murray's fashion evolution, one must also track his hair evolution. Here's the mop top.

It just kept getting bigger.

It's not often Murray lasts longer in doubles than singles, but that's what happened at the Australian Open when he lost in the first round to Juan Ignacio Chela.

2006

Fred Perry kept things simple. Monochromes and blues were standard, if a little boring.

In all-white, during one of his most memorable wins at Wimbledon. He rallied from 0-2 down to beat Richard Gasquet as light began to fade on Centre Court.

2008

Oversized shirts may have been excusable in the early-aughts, but by 2008 it was confounding why Fred Perry couldn't put Murray in a proper shirt.

2008

Murray lasted just one round at the Beijing Olympics.

2008

2012

At this point it's clear that Adidas is trying to modernize Murray's look, going for slimmer fitting cuts.

2012

Murray's 2012 Olympic kit may go down as his signature kit. He should just wear it forever.
