As previously stated, the US open excels at throwing up genuine WTF moments but it’s the latest that takes the cake as Sir Sean Connery and Manchester Utd manger Sir Alex Ferguson made an apperance during the middle of Andy Murry’s post match press conferance.
I wish this was my own creative work but this is the actual transcript.
Q. When you were a kid back in Scotland, I know you spent a lot of your time indoors…
SIR SEAN CONNERY: Excuse me for interrupting, but I just wanted to make a point. Where’s Alex? (Applause.) I don’t know where your mother is. There she is.
ANDY MURRAY: Thank you very much for coming. Are you going to be around tomorrow?
SIR SEAN CONNERY: Come on, Judy. Judy, Judy, Judy.
ANDY MURRAY: [To Judy] You smell of wine. (Laughter.)
JUDY MURRAY: He [Ferguson] made me have wine. He’s just been telling me that Scotland invented the world.
SIR ALEX FERGUSON: Been coming here the last three years to New York, and I explained how Scotland invented the world; today we invented the wine. (Laughter.)
SIR SEAN CONNERY: Today they conquered the world.
SIR ALEX FERGUSON: Very good. Fantastic.
ANDY MURRAY: See you after the match tomorrow.
SIR ALEX FERGUSON: Continue your interview.

Provided New York isn’t consumed by a hurricane, Murray will face the winner the Novak Djokovic vs David Ferrer clash in Mondays final. We’re sure Sir Sean will be generous with advice for his fellow Scotsman.
