Andy Murray once fired a furious Jeff Bazos dig at 'cheating' Stefanos Tsitipas

Andy Murray will face Stefanos Tsitsipas for the first time since their fiery US Open first-round meeting last year.

The former world No 1 then took another jibe at his opponent on Twitter days later, writing: "Fact of the day.

And Tsitsipas has instead shared some kind
