He interjected "male player" to clarify that the achievement has been reached by women. Serena Williams ring any bells?

This isn't the first time Murray has had to remind sexist reporters that female players also exist. Back at the 2016 Olympics, Murray had to correct another reporter who credited Murray as the first personto win two tennis golds at the Olympics. Murray was quick to point out the Williams sister had won four each.
News headlines Wednesday made sure to highlight the word "male" after the interview, unless they wanted to feel the subtle, but much-needed wrath of Murray.
