CROSSING THE LINE Watch as devastated Andy Murray is told basic umpire error cost him dearly in Wimbledon defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas

ANDY MURRAY cut a dejected figure in his press conference after being told of a crucial incorrect call that cost him dearly during his clash with Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Murray, 36, had led the Greek by two sets to one on Thursday night, before play had to be curtailed due to a local curfew.

Play resumed on Centre Court yesterday, with Tsitsipas triumphing 7-6, 6-7, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4 in four hours and 40 minutes.

With Tsitsipas serving at 4-4, 15-30 in the fourth set, Murray played a short backhand return, which was called out by the line judge.

Umpire Aurelie Tourte did NOT overrule the call despite it being close to the chair – with Murray opting against challenging.

Winning the point would have set up two break opportunities for the two-time Wimbledon champion – either of which would have led to the opportunity to serve for the match.

In his post-match press conference, Murray was told that his return was in fact in.

Already devastated after his defeat, the Scot looked even more gutted after receiving the news.

With his head sinking into his hands, he responded: “Yeah, that’s obviously frustrating.”
