MURRAY COVID ROW

FURIOUS Andy Murray has claimed that he caught Covid-19 while training at the LTA’s National Tennis Centre last month.

And the former World No.1 has blamed the lax approach to health and safety protocols for an outbreak of the virus at the £40million London base.

The double Wimbledon champion said he was “gutted and angry” to be forced to miss another Australian Open after working to reach his best level of fitness for years.

But the Surrey-based Scot revealed he was more enraged because he infected his wife Kim, their children and a close family member.

Murray has been backed in his criticism by British No.1 Dan Evans and other visitors to the LTA’s flagship training centre.

The allegations include:

» Players and support staff mixing in the players’ lounge without social distancing
