US Open tennis news – “I need shoes!” – Andy Murray sweats through the shoes but brings only one pair!

There were some really bizarre scenes during Andy Murray’s match against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round of the US Open on Monday.

Murray, having taken an exciting first set, was struggling in the second set tie-break when he slipped and fell on the pitch.

Fortunately, there was no serious injury, but it was clear that Murray was sweating a lot in his feet due to the extreme humidity on the pitch and he kept telling his box that he didn’t. no catch.

He then went even further and said, “I need shoes and I have no other shoes.”

We also heard him say “No preparation, you don’t look at the details! Though it’s not clear if this was to do with the shoes or not, although it’s hard to see how it could be anything else.

It was Tsitsipas who emerged victorious in the tie-break and he tied things at 1-1.

Between the second and third set, Murray and Tsitsipas both had to leave the pitch to cool off and both came back wearing new shorts, but had to wear the same shoes.

In an attempt to dry the shoes, he pointed the air conditioning to the field to try and dry them.

“It’s a really strange thing that he only had one pair of shoes with him here,” Jim Courier said in comment.

At the start of the third set, Tsitsipas looked unhappy with his grip and ended up changing shoes. It’s not clear if he needed it or if it was just mind games.
