Alex de Minaur’s Centre Court match against Zachary Svajda was halted so the American could have a medical timeout while 5-2 down in the third set.
And the incident left BBC commentator Pat Cash furious.
The 61-year-old fumed during the MTO: “I am so against this, the doctors need to stand up and go, no, this is an injury.
“Here’s the rule, anything beyond the fourth set in the men’s, unless you twist your ankle or roll something or run into the net post or whatever, you shouldn’t get a MTO.”
Cash added: “As simple as that. Because it’s tiring, you get tired. The doctor should come up and go, ‘Guess what, you’ve just been playing three hours. You’re tired. Your muscles are tired. Move on. Play on.'”
