Andy Murray hits out at Wimbledon changes as Grand Slam announces new schedule

The three-time Grand Slam champion lost in the third round of Wimbledon this year to 10th seed Denis Shapovalov.

With his loss coming on the Friday, Murray may have been able to stay in the tournament by signing up for the mixed-doubles draw with a female player who had also lost early in the singles or women’s doubles.

The 34-year-old has proven himself to be successful in the doubles, pairing with Feliciano Lopez to win the Queen’s title in his very first tournamwnt back after hip resurfacing surgery in 2019.

He then went to Wimbledon, partnering with five-time men’s doubles Grand Slam champion Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the men’s event and, after losing early with the Frenchman, partnered with Serena Williams in the mixed doubles.
