Ousted Murray slams Tsitsipas for taking breaks

Murray says his adrenaline dropped after long delays by Tsitsipas. “It’s not so much leaving the court. It’s the amount of time,” Murray said. Murray said the players council is talking about rule changes to “make it less easy for the rules to be exploited,” and Tsitsipas took his timewasting too far.

Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray ripped Stefanos Tsitsipas for nonsense delaying tactics in a five-set US Open comeback victory on Monday, saying the moves influenced the outcome of the match. 

Greek third seed Tsitsipas rallied to defeat the Scotsman 2-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 after grinding through four hours and 39 minutes. Murray barely greeted Tsitsipas at the net after the Greek third seed’s delays, including medical timeouts and bathroom breaks to disrupt Murray’s rhythm. “I think he’s great for the game,” Murray said. “But I have zero time for that stuff at all and I lost respect for him.”
