Andy Murray has showed fans his hidden talents and what he has learnt during his time off through injury.

The 31-year-old is making his Grand Slam comeback after 14 months out with a hip problem.
Andy Murray has showed fans his hidden talents and what he has learnt during his injury spell
On Sunday he revealed the skills he has developed during his time on the sidelines.
Murray posted on his Instagram story: ‘Got asked in a interview today.. did I learn anything knew whilst I was injured and do I have any hidden talents? to which the answer was yes I did and I have many (sic).’
Alongside a picture of a messy table and a pot he wrote: ‘I’m quite a handy potter’.
The 31-year-old showed off his piano skills playing Chopsticks and his hidden talent of painting
Following his pottery attempt, Murray showed off his piano skills playing Chopsticks.
The caption read: ‘I learned to play the piano.. it was actually pretty easy.’
He also said that his hidden talent was painting and joked that it was spelling. In his first post he wrote ‘knew’ instead of ‘new’.

The Brit and the heavy-hitting Argentine drew a large crowd on a scorching hot day in New York.
The three-time Grand Slam champion is 4-3 since making his comeback in June at Queen’s and is continuing to rehabilitate his troublesome hip.
Given the fact that Murray lacks top level match-fitness, he doesn’t believe it is realistic to expect to add Grand Slam No 4 to his collection.
‘This one feels slightly different because for the last ten or eleven years I have been preparing to try and win the event where I don’t think that is realistic for me this year,’ he said on Friday.
