Andy Murray has raised concerns that William Hill's sponsorship of the Australian Open is at odds with the sport's prohibitions on players tying up with gambling companies. Murray was speaking at a press conference following his first round victory at the tournament, which is the first Grand Slam to be sponsored by a betting company. "I think it’s a little bit hypocritical, really, because I don’t believe the players are allowed to be sponsored by betting companies but then the tournaments are."
