Former British tennis player and coach Andy Murray had a hilarious reaction when he was referred to as England's "last hope" during an interview, despite the fact that he is Scottish.

When asked if he felt pressure being seen as the "last hope for England" in a tournament, Murray paused, looked confused, and then quipped, "Is it that bad?"

His deadpan delivery left the room laughing, showing his trademark dry humour.

This moment not only highlighted Murray's wit but also gently reminded everyone of the ongoing friendly rivalry between England and Scotland, especially in sports.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
