Andy Murray is misunderstood. He really is. The guy always gives his all. Usually he wears his heart on his sleeve but yesterday in London @theO2 arena it was a "POPPY" on his sleeve . Why a POPPY ?

Federer kicked off his 2014 World Tour Finals campaign with a 6-1, 7-6(0) round-robin win over Milos Raonic. That had been preceded by Andy Murray's 6-4, 6-4 loss to Kei Nishikori.
