NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stefanos Tsitsipas used his bathroom break when nature called at the U.S. Open on Monday but opponent Andy Murray fumed about the lengthy disruption as his hopes of scoring an opening round upset went down the toilet. Murray said he had been warned by his team to be prepared for disruptions such as a bathroom break or medical timeout if his third-seeded opponent saw the match slipping away. Tsitsipas also had a medical timeout to receive treatment on his left foot after dropping the third set. After each break Murray grew more frustrated at officials for refusing to call the Greek on what he saw as stalling tactics. “Some suggestions are if you take a medical timeout or a break before, let’s say, my serve, that you forfeit the game.
