"You know something, I respect the rule.

"If my child was a ball kid for a tournament, they’re coming home at 5 in the morning – as a parent, I’m snapping at that. It’s not beneficial for them. It’s not beneficial for the umpires, the officials. I don’t think it’s amazing for the fans. It’s not good for the players," Murray said.
