The US Open opponent of Andy Murray was praised for his 'amazing' sportsmanship following a heartwarming moment at the Louis Armstrong Stadium.
With Murray leading 5-4, and Francisco Cerundolo serving to stay in the set, the Scot executed a drop shot only for the Argentinian to seemingly reach it and win a stunning point. Murray then proceeded to wave his arms in bemusement, clearly discontented, and then a big screen replay showed the ball had bounced twice before Cerundolo reached it.
The 24-year-old then showed incredible sportsmanship to voluntarily concede the point. The LTA Twitter account reacted by posting: "Amazing sportsmanship from Cerundolo rewards Andy Murray after a contested call at the US Open." Commentator Mark Petchey, working for Amazon Prime, called it the "moment of the year" while co-commentator Tim Henman labelled it "pure class."
