Ivo Karlovic questions the integrity of Wimbledon and claims that he was "cheated" during his second round defeat to Andy Murray.

Ivo Karlovic has questioned the integrity of Wimbledon and claimed that he was "cheated" during his second-round defeat to Andy Murray.

The Croatian was foot-faulted 11 times during his 7-5 6-7 6-2 7-6 defeat, and has accused officials of favouring the home player.

"It was outrageous, outrageous," he said. "It's Wimbledon, Centre Court, and they do this. The whole credibility of this tournament went down for me."

When asked what cost him the match, Karlovic cited the number of foot faults he was penalised for and questioned their validity.

He added: "In my whole life, ever since I was eight years old, my whole life I didn't do this many foot faults. It was like 11.

"After I don't know how many, I stood a little bit back so they cannot call [foot fault]. They still did it."

An All England Club spokesperson responded by saying that evidence will be reviewed if Karlovic makes a formal complaint.
