WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — British tennis player Liam Broady is a fan of Manchester City. And the Premier League soccer team is fan of Broady.
City, which completed a treble of trophies this season by winning the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, sent a message of support on Twitter to Broady on Monday before his opening match at Wimbledon.
Broady, who entered the tournament as a wild card, ended up beating Constant Lestienne of France 6-1, 6-3, 7-5 on Court 15.
“They’re amazing,” the 29-year-old Broady said of Man City. “They’re always so supportive of me. I can remember playing here at the age of 17 and buzzing off them tweeting me. It’s still the same to this day. I absolutely love it.
“I’m grateful they keep a track of my career the way I keep a track of the football club.”
