"Basically last night after dinner here in Indian Wells I got back in the car to go back to the hotel and the car didn't smell great. Basically, I'd left my tennis shoes there, it's been 38-39 degrees so my tennis shoes are pretty damp and sweaty and smelly."

He added: "I decided when I got back to the hotel that the trainers needed some air and I needed to dry them out a little bit, so I have no balcony in my room and didn't want to leave them in my room so I thought, 'I'm going to leave the shoes underneath the car'.
