During the match, things got heated when Murray said the rules were 'disrespectful' after players were not allowed to take a toilet break.

He said: "Do you know something? I respect the rules.

"It's a joke. And you know it as well. It's disrespectful. It's disrespectful to you. It's disrespectful to the ball children. It's disrespectful to the players. And we're not allowed to go to the toilet. Ridiculous."
