Andy Murray Criticizes US Open Scheduling Issues

Andy Murray has criticized the US Open's scheduling, labeling it a 'total mess' after Zheng Qinwen's match against Donna Vekic ended at 2:15 a.m., setting a record for the latest finish in women's match history. This late finish follows a pattern of problematic scheduling at major tournaments, including the Australian Open and French Open, prompting Murray to call for reforms. He expressed his concerns on social media, highlighting how matches going on at such late hours appear 'amateurish'. Zheng, who won the match, expressed her enjoyment of playing in night sessions despite the unusual hour. The US Open has policies intended to limit late-night matches, but issues persist, suggesting a need for better enforcement. Murray's remarks resonate with other players, including John Isner, who have also voiced frustration over the late matches.
