Andy Murray has expressed his frustrations with the scheduling of the Davis Cup — and in tennis in general — after Great Britain suffered a late-night loss against the USA in the doubles.
The 35-year-old and his partner, world No. 1 doubles star Joe Salisbury, lost out with a 5-7 6-4 7-5 scoreline to Rajeev Ram and Jack Sock in front of a half-empty Emirates Arena in Glasgow.
Ad While there had been a good atmosphere inside the arena, the match finished at 12:58am UK time after all three rubbers went the full three sets as many fans ended up finding the finish too late to stay for the conclusion.
