Tennis: Andy Murray Hits Ball Straight at Ivan Lendl, London Mayor in Exhibition at Queens

Andy Murray is really having fun roughly a week to go before the start of the Wimbledon Open Championship.

With the hope of the entire United Kingdom leaning on Murray once again to end that long drought at All-England club, the Britain's top netter still found some quality time to play for a charity event and hang around with London's noblemen like Virgin Inc. founder Sir Richard Branson, stand-up comedian Michael McIntyre, Tony Awards winner Eddie Redmayne and London Mayor Boris Johnson.

Murray, who's rarely seen cracking a smile in his matches, was all loose on a sunny Saturday afternoon as he traded shots with his pals on the iconic lawn grass of Queen's Tennis Club. Apparently, Murray also used the event to give some sort of payback to by far his worst tormentor on and off the court - tennis legend and his personal coach Ivan Lendl.

Since hiring Lendl to coach him in 2011, Murray's tennis life has never been the same again. Lendl's relentless attitude during his heydays was carried over to his career as a coach. Lendl always pushed Murray to the limit during training, making every session more like in the military schools than ordinary practice days on the court.

So on Saturday, Murray made sure that he would return the favor to his coach as he teamed up with British legend Tim Henman to face a formidable Czech duo of Lendl and Tomas Berdych. Murray whipped a forehand return to the chest of Lendl that sent the crowd crazy. Murray jumped to jubilation afterwards, satisfying his long-kept ill feeling towards his coach. However, Olympic and US Open winner isn't done yet. After wrapping up his first match against Lendl, Murray teamed up with the London Mayor for another round of doubles match against Team Henman. Unfortunately for London's top official, Murray isn't a fan of players using old-school wooden rackets. Yes, the Scottish had another victim, jolting the Mayor on his back with another awry forehand stroke. Talking about a hitting spree, Murray was at it on Saturday.
