Andy Murray has been used to dealing with tall, powerful servers but none are as big as his latest challenge.

NBA legend Yao Ming towered over Murray and fellow tennis ace Rafa Nadal when they met after a gruelling two weeks of Chinese tournaments.

Ming, the retired basketball player, is 7ft 6in - Murray and Nadal must have breathed a sigh of relief that the Chinese colossus chose basketball instead of tennis.

The former Houston Rockets centre would have developed a serve that the likes of Ivo Karlovic or John Isner could only dream of!
