"All top players bend the rules" says Wilander backing Tsitsipas over Murray

The majority of discussions surrounding that match are happening because of the prolonged toilet break Tsitsipas took which according to Andy Murray completely messed up his rhythm. The Greek would end up winning the match with Murray fuming about it even after sleeping on it the following day.

Other players spoke on it with some backing Murray and others being understanding of what Tsitsipas did. For Mats Wilander it's quite clear:

"All the top players always do something that stretches the rules, not intentionally, but they go about their business, they are in the moment. Nadal sometimes takes too long, Djokovic takes a few injury time outs, McEnroe was screaming, Connors did his thing – it’s what champions do."

On what happaned in the match he said:

"Tsitsipas does sweat and sweat, so he does need to go and change his shorts, underwear, shirt – I guess some people can do that in seven minutes, some people take a little longer."

Wilander also spoke on Andy Murray whose behaviour left some dissapointed:

“I don’t feel Andy showed inexperience because he has played for so long, but he got so irritated, he wasn’t moving around, maybe he could have hit a few serves. Maybe he was too much in the moment somehow and it irritated him – you just can’t let that happen."

To summarise Wilander said he is not sure whether it would have made any difference in the end:

“Tsitsipas was in the moment. Murray may have been too involved in the moment. I’m not too sure it would have made a difference in the end."
