Andy Murray trades blows on Twitter in row about equal pay in tennis

Murray is the leading advocate among male players for equality in all its forms and he was predictably forthright on the subject.

Andy Murray took the row about equal pay in tennis onto Twitter as he traded blows with Ukrainian rival Sergiy Stakhovsky.

Stakhovsky is a long-standing and vocal critic of equal prize money for women. The topic has dominated headlines over the past few days following comments from former Indian Wells tournament director Raymond Moore.
