☆ Exhausted Murray has energy to blast officials after late night finish

Murray said he respected the rules but criticized having to play until 3 or 4 a.m. "and you're not allowed to go and take a piss." You know it as well.”"It’s disrespectful to you, disrespectful to the ball children, disrespectful to the players and we are not allowed to go to the toilet. "For starters, it was insane that matches at that level are played 4 to 4:30 a.m. in the morning." Most elite sports do not hold their biggest events into the wee hours of the morning after most fans have gone to bed.
