It is not everyday you get to see Andy Murray demonstrate a keen sense of humour, particularly when he is on the losing end of a tie.Given it was only a charity game, Murray pulled off a belated April fool’s joke that saw him switch places with an eager ball boy on match point with Roger Federer, who was on the brink of a 6–3, 7–6 (7 – 5) victory.The ball boy showed some guile as he knocked a ball back for Murray to collect, which had Federer doubling up with laughter.The ball boy then took serve against Federer, but it was not enough to stop the Swiss Maestro, who took the Australian Open in January and followed up with the Miami Open last month, from coming away on top.Have a laugh at the moment of brilliance further down this article.Murray, on the back of a month-long injury lay-off, has his sights set on the Monte Carlo Masters after recovering from an elbow injury.He will certainly be hoping for a better result than his last competitive one, which saw him ousted by Canadian Vasek Popisil in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open.Speaking to reporters after the ‘Match for Africa 3’ charity match in Zurich, Murray said: “I’m hoping, if I keep progressing as I have with the elbow, to play Monte Carlo.“If not, then I just need to stay patient and I’ll try the following week. I’m getting there, I just have to go slowly.”Murray has been injury-ridden this year and has missed much of the action, including Great Britain’s Davis Cup defeat to France over the weekend, but he promised that he would feature against Roger Federer: a promise that he kept.He was earlier diagnosed with shingles after a fourth-round defeat in January’s Australian Open, but recovered to win the tournament in Dubai in February before crashing out again at the Indian Wells in March.He was in good spirits after his clash with Federer, saying: "I enjoyed it. "I haven't played a match for five or six weeks so to come out and play in front of this crowd against Roger, I appreciate him asking me to come and do this.

"I was trying to get it to a third set, I just couldn't quite do it."

The rise of Roger Federer has been epic for the 35-year-old, but he will rest it out until the French Open, which takes place at the end of May.

Asked what he plans on doing during his voluntary sabbatical, Federer said: "Not very much!

"I'll be resting most of the time. The body needs a rest, I can feel it. Everything is good. I should be back for the French Open, that's the plan."
