Andy Murray's Tweet On Stefanos Tsitsipas Divides Twitter

Some Twitter users said the tweet was not a mark of good sportsmanship. However, others took a different stand.

Tennis star Andy Murray is in the news once again and not for the right reasons. He made it to the headlines not only for the match that he lost on Monday but also because of some scathing remarks against his opponent, Stefanos Tsitsipas. Mr Murray didn't seem to be too happy about losing the 2021 US Open Tennis Tournament men's singles first-round match to the world no. 3 tennis player. He begrudgingly tweeted about the long toilet breaks that Mr Tsitsipas took during the five-set match. Mr Murray wrote on Twitter, "Fact of the day. It takes Stefanos Tsitipas twice as long to go the bathroom as it takes Jeff Bazos to fly into space. Interesting." Fact of the day. It takes Stefanos Tsitipas twice as long to go the bathroom as it takes Jeff Bazos to fly into space. Interesting. ???? ???? Come on Andy, I'm a fan and I don't approve of Stef's outright gamesmanship, but this is getting too petty. Isn't there a proper venue to raise these complaints and start a conversation about the rules about timeouts and breaks? You are better than this Andy, such a poor statement https://t.co/thMhjvQIAB @andy_murray forgets that in the 2012 US Open final againat he also took a couple of lengthy 'bathroom' breaks in his eventual win against Djokovic. Sounds like Andy has double standards. One rule for him and another for everyone else ;) #Tsitsipashttps://t.co/BgiFw8ZItN Andy Murray's return to Twitter over the last four months has been great value.This might be a crowning moment.#USOpen#ShotsFiredhttps://t.co/NJ7QJImbxf He's slept on it...and doubled down. https://t.co/lSCMiIrsLc You gotta love Andy Murray's dry Scottish wit. https://t.co/htDrG94MaO Love @andy_murray ???? ????- brilliant match & tennis. https://t.co/Fsr5bhrUMt Stefanos Tsitsonthetoiletandletstimepas Mr Murray was seen to be quite frustrated during the match when Mr Tsitipas took two long breaks of about seven minutes at the end of the second and fourth sets. Mr Tsitipas also took a medical timeout for an apparent foot injury. After the match, Mr Murray told the media, "It's just disappointing because I feel it influenced the outcome of the match."
