Andy Murray beats Wimbledon champion in stirring comeback despite awful line judge calls

The Daily Express : ANDY MURRAY took on doubles specialist Max Purcell, fresh from his maiden Grand Slam success at Wimbledon, in the second round of the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, Rhode Island.

Andy Murray came back from a set down to overcome Wimbledon doubles champion Max Purcell to secure safe passage into the quarter-finals of the Hall of Fame Open. But the match itself was marred by a series of shocking decisions from line judges in Newport, Rhode Island, as both players were forced into regular challenges – the majority of which proved successful.

Murray had beaten Sam Querrey with ease in the first round, giving the Brit an easy start to the tournament. The American’s serve was well off where it needed to be, while he made far too many unforced errors to ever have the chance of progressing to the next round. It was a different story against Purcell, who is inexperienced as a singles player but proved he has the quality to make his mark when playing well.
