Andy Murray angry that his match was suspended for darkness

It was gettin' dark, but not too dark to see in London for Andy Murray.

The top British player was in the midst of a comeback from 3-0 down in the third set of his third-round match at Queen's Club when his opponent, American Mardy Fish, asked the chair umpire to suspend the match on account of darkness. Without so much as a glance in Murray's direction, Cedric Mourier, who worked the French Open final on Sunday, agreed with Fish and called the match. Fish immediately bolted for the locker room, while Murray vehemently argued his case on the court:

It was ridiculous. There was plenty of light to continue. Fish saw an opportunity to stanch his bleeding and the umpire was only too happy to oblige. It was a fairly spineless move by both. At the very least, Murray should have been consulted and there should have been a declaration that there would be, say, one more service game.

The incident was reminiscent to the bizarre Gael Monfils-Fabio Fognini match at last month's French Open which ended at 9:50 p.m. in Paris. Murray referenced that match in his argument, claiming that if they could go that long, surely he and Fish could go past 8:31 p.m. in London.

The pair will resume play tomorrow afternoon.
