The Wimbledon and Olympic champion described the "extreme" behaviour in an interview promoting the International Premier Tennis League, in response to being asked about the "craziest thing" one of his fans has done.

Murray said: "At one of the tournaments I played, a maid in the hotel ... I had a 'do not disturb' sign on the door, and she came in and sat on my bed and started stroking my arm at about seven in the morning when I was still sleeping, and then turned up at a couple more tournaments in the hotels that I was playing at in Rotterdam and Barcelona.

"I don't know if that's a fan thing - that's a bit extreme - but that happened."
