The ball kids who worked until after 4am as Andy Murray progressed in the Australian Open were only paid for their work with a gift bag and meal ticket.
Murray came from two sets down to win the epic second round match against Thanasi Kokkinakis 4-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 7-5. The match was the longest in the career of three-time Grand Slam winner Murray who slammed officials for not halting the game stating that it "ended in a farce" due to the 4am finish.
The world No.66 said: "If my child was a ball kid for a tournament and they're coming home at five in the morning, as a parent, I'm snapping at that. It's not beneficial for them."
