Andy Murray angry at missing Australian Open & questions LTA protocols

Andy Murray has spoken of his anger at missing next week's Australian Open because he caught Covid-19, pointing the finger at the culture inside the National Tennis Centre over Christmas.

The Scot says "tonnes of people were in the gym" and thinks too many were allowed to use the player facilities.

The LTA said "stringent and appropriate restrictions" had been applied.

As a result of catching coronavirus, Murray was not allowed to travel to Melbourne on a chartered flight as planned and was then unable to find a "workable quarantine" to play at the Grand Slam after recovering.
