The word 'drama' has begun to be associated with Andy Murray since former champion and commentator Virginia Wade accused him of being a drama queen when he had a back injury during the French Open. Murray is furious about this, and while he may have displayed a lack of 'stiff upper lip' on the court it is only fair to remember that 1) nobody except Murrray himself can know how much pain he was in and 2) there is no reason to think he was doing it on purpose to distract his opponent. Wade has known Murray since he was a child, so maybe she was being a bit more stern with him than you would be with a stranger.

There have been plenty of players who used all kinds of tactics to distract the competition, of course. Boris Becker was accused of this in his younger days, as was John McEnroe, whose tantrums made it sometimes almost impossible for the game to continue.
