Andy Murray doesn't understand why Luis Suarez reacts with biting

Murray weighs in on Suarez debate

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has had his say on Luis Suarez's latest piece of poor behaviour, describing the Uruguayan's apparent bite of Giorgio Chiellini as "really weird".

Suarez seemed to gnaw at the Italian defender's shoulder during yesterday's World Cup group match in Brazil and now looks set to be banned for a lengthy period by FIFA.

It is the third time in Suarez's career that he has resorted to biting an opponent.

"It's just wrong," Murray said earlier today after reaching the third round at SW19. "I just think it looks really weird seeing a person bite someone else. I just don't see how that would come into your thinking.

"Well, obviously he's not thinking clearly at the time. There was obviously something not quite right there. I think it's the third time he's done it now.

"It's not particularly nice to see. You can understand sometimes someone lashing out or whatever. But the biting's far too much."

Uruguay made it through to the last 16 of the World Cup and are likely to be without Suarez when they face Colombia on Saturday evening.
