Murray questions Djokovic's injury crisis in final
Melbourne, Feb 2
Scottish tennis ace Andy
Murray has questioned World No.1 Novak Djokovic’s dramatic body language
after the 27-year-old came back from a ‘physical crisis’ to win the
Australian Open men's singles title for a record fifth time.
Reacting
to a fourth successive final loss at the Rod Laver Arena, the Scot said
he was "distracted" by Djokovic as the Serb struggled after the second
set.
"The third set was frustrating because I got a bit
distracted when he, like, fell on the ground after a couple of shots,"
Murray was quoted as saying by news.com.au, Monday.
“It appeared that he was cramping, and then I let that distract me a little bit. That’s what I’m most disappointed about.â€
Asked
if it is a legitimate tactic for an opponent to fake injury and then
recover as spectacularly as Djokovic did, Murray said: “No, it’s not
legitimate.â€
“I have no idea what the issue was, he obviously
looked like he was in quite a bad way at the beginning of the third set
and came back unbelievable at the end of that set,†added Murray.
