Andy Murray has voiced his frustration over the ongoing issue of late-night finishes at the US Open, calling it a “total mess.” The three-time Grand Slam champion expressed his concerns on social media, urging tennis authorities to address the scheduling problems that often result in matches extending into the early hours of the morning.
Murray, who is well-acquainted with the challenges of late finishes—having played a marathon match against Thanasi Kokkinakis that ended at 4:15 AM—believes that players deserve better protection from such grueling schedules. In a post on X, the 37-year-old Scotsman didn’t hold back, stating, “The tennis scheduling situation is a total mess. It looks so amateurish having matches going on at 2, 3, 4 AM. Sort it out US Open, Australian Open, Wimbledon, ATP Tour, WTA.”
Murray’s comments highlight a growing concern among players and fans alike, as the grueling schedules not only impact player performance but also diminish the viewer experience. As Murray adjusts to life post-retirement, his call for change reflects his enduring commitment to the sport and the well-being of its players.
