Crestfallen Andy Murray was left floored after finding out a failed challenge cost him dear at Wimbledon in his thrilling five-set defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The two-time SW19 champion decided against calling in hawkeye as he was 30-15 on up the Greek's serve at 4-4 in the fourth set but the replay showed his shot was in. The world number five then rallied to force the match into a deciding set which he won by breaking Murray and seeing out a gutsy comeback. But the revelation was a blow to the Scottish icon as he found it in his post-match briefing. A a visibly stunned Murray could barely believe it. He said: "The 15-30 point my return was in? That is obviously frustrating. I remember it, it was a backhand cross court return, very short, and I probably would have won the point."
Murray, for the most part, was back to the form which made him such a formidable force at Wimbledon, however, Tsitsipas' booming forehand and variety on day two of their epic encounter proved too much to overcome. Murray then batted away any notion of retirement as he continues his miraculous comeback from hip surgery.
