Murray pulled the worst April Fool's prank ever

BRITISH tennis star Andy Murray pulled an April Fool's Day prank so profoundly unfunny that it's taken us until the third of the month to notice it.

First, some context. Murray split from his coach, Ivan Lendl, last month. The Czech legend had coached Murray to breakthrough title wins at the US Open and Wimbledon.

MURRAY AND LENDL PART WAYS

So, on April Fool's Day, Murray tweeted that he was about to announce who his new coach would be. He included the hashtag '#pumped', perhaps in a futile effort to get someone else interested in the news.

And 2 avoid confusion like last time i will be announcing my new coach tomorrow #pumped

Here's the punchline. Murray is NOT actually announcing who his new coach will be.

... What, no laughter? This is the bit where you're supposed to laugh.

Ah, fine. Clearly, Andy Murray still has some work to do in the hilarity department.

Here are some April Fool's jokes that were actually funny.
