When it comes to social media Q&As, everyone could learn a thing or two from Andy Murray. The Brit took some time out of his grueling training block in Miami to field some questions from fans and no one gives as good as he gets as Murray.

He does not suffer fools gladly, so if you ask a stupid question, Murray will probably respond with a heavy dose of sarcasm. But you don't get the sense he's doing it to be mean or superior -- he's just amusing himself.  

Take these exchanges for example:

  • Andy Murray who is that? 110 · Like · 1 hr Alison MiltonHi andy are you still working with aimlee? Xx9 · Like · Reply · 1 hr
  • Tracey MccabeAre you going to stick with you're current coaching staff or maybe time for a change? X4 · Like · Reply · 1 hr Andy Murray probably not because i hate all of them 133 · Like · 1 hr

So Murray hates his team and has no ambition, he says, while posting photos of himself grinding through workouts in Miami under Amelie Mauresmo's careful eye on Facebook.

Here are more highlights from Murray's Q&A session on Facebook:
