The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.

• Andy Murray finally showed up on the UK's Strictly Come Dancing to dance with his mother Judy, who is competing on the show this season.

• If you don't already follow Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki on Instagram, you missed quite the action this weekend.

• Watch a time-lapse video of the court being laid down at the O2 Arena.
