London, June 27 (ANI): British tennis star Andy Murray has invented snack-based nicknames for his tennis pals.

Murray then turned to John McEnroe, 50, and Bjorn Borg, 53 - McEnrolo and Prawn Borg.
Todd Woodbridge, 38, was Cod Woodbridge and American Mardy Fish, 27, was Mardy Fishcakes.
Martina Hingis, 28, was Martina Haggis, Vince Spadea, 34, turned into Mince Spadea, former British star Greg Rusedski, 33, was Egg Rusedski and Dick Norman, 38, became Spotted Dick Norman. (ANI)
