Murray was facing 21st seed Nikoloz Basilashvili at the John Cain Arena in the first round of the Grand Slam when the incident took place. Towards the end of the game, some fans chanted ‘siiuuu’, and the British star was left irritated.
During his post-game interview, Murray labeled the chants ‘painful’, saying:
After he was explained that the fans were not booing him but were using Ronaldo’s celebration, Murry added:
Murray won the game 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4 but is definitely not looking forward to the fans celebrating it with the ‘siiuuu’ chants.
History of Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘siiuuu’ celebration
Cristiano Ronaldo first used ‘siuuu’ celebrations during a pre-season game against Chelsea in the United States. The Portuguese star was playing for Real Madrid at that point.
Speaking about the celebration a few months back, the Portuguese said:
‘Siiuuu’ has become a common chant among rival fans recently as the Manchester United star has failed to make a big impact at Old Trafford this season. Wolverhampton fans were spotted mocking the celebration last week, while other clubs have also done the same earlier this season.
