BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron ignored growing speculation about the ?Curse of Cameron' yesterday by tweeting a message of support to Briton Andy Murray ahead of his quarterfinal match at Wimbledon.
Cameron has gained a reputation for jinxing British sports stars, a trend that began when he was in opposition and hit a peak last summer when he saw Murray lose in the Wimbledon final and showed up at Olympic events at which United Kingdom medal hopes lost.
Britain's top female player, Laura Robson, was knocked out of the fourth round of Wimbledon on Monday after Cameron tweeted from Kazakhstan, saying "best wishes to @laurarobson5. 1st Brit woman in 4th round #Wimbledon for ages".
The list of failures after Cameron's good wishes included the England rugby union team losing 6-15 to South Africa in the 2007 World Cup final and Lewis Hamilton missing out on the Formula One drivers' championship by a point.
Despite concerns the prime minister was back on Twitter yesterday to send his best wishes to the British No. 1 before his match against Spaniard Fernando Verdasco.
