The British player took advantage of his Twitter account to criticize the US Open and the rest of the Grand Slam regarding the scheduling problem.
Murray, aims against the Grand Slams The ATP circuit is facing a big problem with the issue of schedules. In recent Grand Slams there have been repeated cases of matches that either go on until late hours or start at very late hours. For example, in this US Open we have seen several cases of matches ending after two in the morning. As a result, the players’ recovery worsens and makes it impossible for fans to enjoy the show. Matches that end at two in the morning are not positive for anyone, players, public and television viewers suffer from these schedules that do not favor the world of tennis at all. Sabalenka finished her match against Alexandrova at 1:48 in the morning and Qinwen Zheng defeated Vekic in a clash that ended at 2:15 in the morning. However, these cases are not unique to the women’s draw, with Zverev finishing his match against Etcheverry at 2:35 in the morning and hopefully not having a fifth set that could have extended the match an extra hour. A player who knows this situation very well is Andy Murray, who finished a game at 4:05 in the morning. Added to this, his experience on the tour gives him a very contrasted and vivid opinion. The Scot took advantage of his social networks to send a message to the Grand Slams and the main circuits to end this problem.
