Andy Murray landed himself in hot water earlier today with the umpire during his match with Ugo Humbert.
The Great Britain star was beaten in straight sets and his ticking off was captured on Sky Sports.
So, what exactly did Murray do to get himself in trouble with the authorities? Let’s take a closer look…
Andy Murray gets told off during Ugo Humbert defeat
Well, this is perhaps a modern-day situation and it’s clearly something that some players need clearing up.
Murray was well beaten during his last 16 match at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
He lost 6-2, 6-4 to the French number five seed and is now out of the competition after beating Denis Shapovalov the other day.
Sky Sports captured Murray getting into hot water, however, with the flash point coming between the sets.
Murray went over to the far corner of the court to have a conversation with his coach who was sitting in the box.
Under modern rules, conversations with coaches are not permitted between sets and Murray was reprimanded.
In fairness to the 36-year-old the conversation wasn’t a two-way one and he was merely listening to his coach.
Murray coming to the end of his playing days
It’s a sorry state of affairs for Murray at the moment and he’s striving to find some sort of consistency in his game.
After this one, the three-time Grand Slam winner suggested that he might not play after the summer this year.
Currently, Murray is at number 67 in the world rankings and everything is a bit of a struggle at the moment.
It’s no surprise that he got reprimanded by the umpire but during a match when he was comfortably second-best, he was merely looking for some inspiration.
Murray’s legacy remains intact and hopefully, the iconic British figure has a couple of big wins left in the locker before he calls it quits.
