Andy Murray hints at Margaret Court Arena boycott at Australian Open

Britain's Andy Murray has suggested he could potentially support a boycott at next year's Australian Open if its Margaret Court Arena is not renamed.

Australian Court, a 24-time Grand Slam singles champion and now a Christian pastor, is an opponent of gay marriage.

Australian former world number four Sam Stosur hinted earlier on Tuesday that players may refuse to play in protest.

Murray said it would be best to resolve the issue before the tournament begins but added: "We'll see what happens."

The Scot beat Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov in four sets to reach the French Open second round on Tuesday.
