Andy Murray says it’s a too-tight muscle shirt and not any weight gain in his upper body which is giving him the illusion of having packed on a few kilograms as he plays at the Australian Open.

The British third seed is looking noticeably ripped these days. with a bigger body. But after queries as to whether his chest has expanded, the US Open winner blamed his clothing for creating the illusion that he might have abandoned the strict training table which has brought him into the tennis elite in recent seasons.

“Most of the weight that I put on is in my legs, but the T shirt I’m wearing is tighter,” Murray said after reaching the second round. “It’s not that I’m any bigger in my upper body. It’s just because of the tightness of the T shirt, maybe it appears that way.”

Murray did not deny that achieving top fitness has been a major key in his training, adding that he’s not afraid of the predicted 37 Celsius heat which is expected to mark his second-round encounter against Portugal’s Joao Sousa.

“You train hard and prepare the best you can and then see where it takes you when you get into the tough situations, the hard conditions. Especially here, it can be extremely hot, which it probably will be on Thursday. Then throughout the year you make adjustments based on how you’re feeling.”
