Murray, pals wind down with plunge into freezing cold water

London, Feb.20 (ANI): British tennis champion Andy Murray, 22, winds down after gruelling games by plunging into water cooled to a shivering 80C.

This time, however, joker Murray insisted four of his camp join him in the tub.

The Sun reports that the snap was posted on his website yesterday, alongside a question and answer session with the Scot and his strength coach Matt Little.

Matt revealed: "If the match was tough, ten minutes in the ice bath is a fantastic way to flush out stiffness-causing acid and toxins from the muscles."

But Murray told fans how his pre-match routine is just as vital.

He said: "It's about removing doubt by making sure you're as well prepared as you can be. I want to arrive at a tournament knowing I've done everything." (ANI)
