Livid US Open combat sparked by Andy Murray after bathroom break drama

Addressing ATP supervisor Gerry Armstrong in the course of the delay, courtside microphones overheard Murray venting his frustrations. “What,” he requested, “for 20 minutes every time? How long do you think it was?”

“In the toilets right there, what’s he doing in there? It’s never once taken me that long to go to the toilet ever when it’s right there.”

Attention additionally turned to the chair umpire, with Murray asking: “What’s your opinion on this? Give me an opinion, do you think it’s good?” Turning again to Armstrong, he continued: “You know as well as I do that this is an absolute disgrace.”
