Sport360 picks out the highlights from the sporting Twittersphere with Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Nico Rosberg, Wayne Rooney and Tom Daley all featuring.
Andy Murray was up at 4am jet-lagged in Indian Wells so he decided to have a Twitter Q&A. Turns out, there was another tennis superstar up in bed in the middle of the night and he had an important question to ask the world No4… The following conversation almost broke Twitter.
@andy_murray how do you get your hair to be so curly? #askAM #HelpABrotherOut

Silver Arrows star letting the secret out
There was lots of banter in the past-race press conference at the Australian Grand Prix between Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel who made fun of Rosberg when he said he would like it if Ferrari updated their game and put pressure on the Silver Arrows to make a better show for fans. Vettel questioned Rosberg’s sincerity and suggested maybe they have an open garage and invite everyone to attend the team’s debriefing. Rosberg took it seriously and sent out the following tweet on Tuesday.
i spoke to Toto and Paddy about an invitation for Sebastian and they are easy with it.

Rooney’s knockout antics
Wayne Rooney’s celebration after he scored against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend caused quite the ruckus online. The Man Utd captain made fun of himself after a video had emerged recently showing him getting knocked out by his friend Phil Bardsley during a friendly sparring session in his kitchen.
