So Sad: Andy Murray left frustrated after…

Angry at umpire Carlos Bernardes, Andy Murray withdrew from the Miami Open after losing to Tomas Machac in a thrilling three-set match.

Murray lost his serve at the end of the second set, and it looked as though he was very angry at Bernardes for not controlling the flow of onlookers around the Butch Buchholz court.

 

Machac then raced into a 3-0 lead in the decider and eventually closed out a 5-7 7-5 7-6 (7/5) victory in three hours and 27 minutes, but only after Murray  had survived an injury scare and saved a match point to force the tie-break.

Murray had taken the first set after finally capitalising on his ninth break point and, following a 40-minute rain delay the second set looked destined for a tie-break until Murray lost his serve in the 12th game.
