The play was ruled a clock malfunction because the inbounds pass was deflected, and officials said the clock should have started once the ball was touched.I thought it was unfair. I think the game is human error. I dont think you should be able to go over and look at the clock and do that, Rivers said. I thought it was awful. I really do. I know they, meaning the league, came back and said it was the right call, but I still disagree.

Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. NEW YORK -- Early in the second set of Andy Murrays win over Marcel Granollers, the chair umpire made a plea to spectators inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.Its quite noisy inside here, if you could please help out and keep the volume down that would help the players, she said.The stadiums new $150 million retractable roof certainly kept out the torrential rain that played havoc with the schedule Thursday afternoon at Flushing Meadows, but it also had an undesirable side effect.When the rain came it was certainly loud, Murray said at a news conference. You cant hear anything, really. You could hear the line calls, but not so much when the opponents hitting the ball or even when youre hitting the ball, really, which is tough purely because were not used to it. Thats what makes it challenging.Murray made a fast start to his 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 victory but struggled to close out the opening set. He lost his serve for the first time at this years tournament at around the time when the rain started lashing the roof with the sound magnified inside the 23,771-seat stadium.Granollers took a fifth break point after a 10-minute game to peg Murray back to 5-4 in the opener, before the Scot took his seventh set point after 12 minutes in the next game.We use our ears when we play. Its not just the eyes, the world No. 2 added. It helps us pick up the speed of the ball, the spin thats on the ball, how hard someones hitting it. If we played with our ears covered or with headphones oon, it would be a big advantage if your opponent wasnt wearing them.dddddddddddd Its tricky. You can still do it, but its harder, for sure.Ive played when its been loud, a lot of the stadiums that have temporary roofs, they can be pretty loud when it rains. But it apparently was raining unbelievably hard outside. It seemed that way anyway.Murray is used to playing under a roof at a Grand Slam -- his status as home favourite saw him finish his matches on time on Centre Court at Wimbledon, while frequent rain delays necessitated play on Middle Sunday for the first time since 2004.The players will deal with it. You get used to stuff. As an athlete, thats what you do, said Murray. We adjust to conditions, different conditions every week. Playing in the day to playing in the night is totally different from one day to the next.We change stuff all of the time, but it takes time to adjust and then get used to that. I think thats why everyone is talking about it now, because its something new. Yeah, its just going to take time to adjust.Im sure if the feedback is that, you know, the TV or the spectators arent enjoying the match as much then they will look into it and try and change it. But if its fine on TV, which from what I have heard it is fine on TV -- I dont know what the fans have said about it yet, but the players will adjust. ' ' '
