Andy Murray secured his first Grand Slam victory at the 2012 US Open, the first of three major titles. Later New York appearances produced more early exits, with a quarter-final run in 2016 followed by five outings without passing the third round before retirement. In 2018 Murray lost in the second round to Fernando Verdasco while returning from a 14-month absence. Extreme heat prompted a 10-minute rest break after the third set. Murray accused Verdasco of speaking with a coach during that break, reported the matter to a supervisor, and publicly complained about an alleged rules breach.
I had to tell them because no one knows the f***ing rules.
Yeah, I went for a shower. He was having an ice bath,
When I came out of the shower, his coach and his - I don't know if he's playing doubles with him, but one of the Spanish doubles players was in there chatting to him, and you're not allowed to speak to your coach. I went and told the supervisor.
I said, 'What are you guys doing? I mean, there's clear rules here and you're allowing this to take place. I don't get it'. Then he ran through, 'Oh, you're not allowed to speak'.
