Andy Murray revealed he was ‘incredibly irritated’ by the Cristiano Ronaldo inspired celebrations from the Australian Open crowd following his hard-fought victory over Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Murray remarkably returned to the arena where he thought he had played his last competitive game in 2019, to defeat Basilashvili 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 in a five-set cracker in Melbourne.
During his nail-biting tournament opener cries of ‘SIU’ - a celebration synonymous with Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo - could be heard being shouted by the crowd.
