Murray warns of player strike threat

ANDY MURRAY says top players are “serious” about their call for changes to the tennis calendar — and won’t rule out strike action.

Players are upset at overcrowding in the schedule and will meet in Shanghai next month to plot their next move.

Murray told BBC Sport: “It’s a possibility. I know from speaking to some players they’re not afraid of doing that (striking). Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that but I’m sure the players will consider it.
