Andy Murray lashes out at Rome crowd after match with Fognini

The match between Andy Murray and Fabio Fognini in Rome, won by the Ligurian in three sets, had a venomous coda. After the match on social media, the Scottish tennis player lashed out at the Foro Italico crowd, which he said was unfair to him.

In particular, Murray referred to a moment in the match when the Briton asked to view a particular point and argued with referee Mohamed Layani, all accompanied by booing and booing from the Italian audience, all on Fognini’s side.

“A stadium full of Italian fans booed me because they thought I was trying to cheat Fabio, for a point. Just because I couldn’t see a mark correctly. Yay,” is Murray’s polemical tweet that is making social media debate.
