Andy Murray has spoken of his anger at missing next week’s Australian Open because he caught COVID-19, pointing the finger at the culture inside the National Tennis Centre over Christmas.

Murray, 33, believes he contracted the virus while practising at the LTA’s high performance centre in London.

The Scot says “tonnes of people were in the gym” and thinks too many were allowed to use the player facilities.

The LTA said “stringent and appropriate restrictions” had been applied. (BBC)
