• ‘I shouldn’t be put in a position like that’, says Murray
Andy Murray was left sobbing on court after a marathon victory over Marius Copil at the Citi Open in Washington, and later criticised scheduling that meant Murray sealed progress to the quarter-finals at 3.01am local time.
Murray sat courtside sobbing into a towel for several minutes after coming from a set down to win 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-6 (4), reaching the quarter-finals of a tournament for the first time since Wimbledon in 2017. The former world No1 is scheduled to face Australia’s Alex de Minaur, but suggested in his post-match comments that he “potentially” could consider withdrawing.
