Andy Murray is undeniably one of the world's best tennis players.

His flag-bearing skills, on the other hand, are decidedly less impressive as Princess Anne discovered during an awkward photo op at British House in Rio.

The two-time Wimbledon winner struggles to maneuver the Union Jack into position, narrowly missing the amused Princess Royal. Princess Anne has a long-time affiliation with the Olympic Games and currently serves as President of the British Olympic Association and is a Member of the International Olympic Committee.

To be fair to Murray, the offscreen instructions given to him aren't exactly clear to us either.
