Andy Murray’s poor finish to the season continued with a fourth defeat in five matches despite a marathon effort against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in Basel casino
British number three Murray had snapped a three-match losing streak with a hard-fought victory over Yannick Hanfmann on Monday and claimed the first set of this last-16 tie at the Swiss Indoors casino
Etcheverry, ranked eight places above Murray in 32nd, was able to fight back impressively and it was the Argentinian who prevailed 6-7 (5) 6-3 6-2 after a three-hour-and-eight-minute battle casino
The early exchanges of set one proved an insight into what was in store for an excitable crowd at the ATP 500 event with breaks traded by both players casino
After Murray was broken in his first service game, he responded with a superb lob for break point before a volley at the net got the tie back on serve at 2-2 casino
A tie-break was eventually required and a classy drop shot helped three-time grand-slam champion Murray draw first blood casino
The 84-minute set appeared to take its toll on Murray at the beginning of the second with Etcheverry able to establish an early advantage and he saved four break points in a lengthy seventh game on his way to forcing a decider casino
Murray was struggling physically by this point and a racket felt the force of his anger despite the Swiss crowd cheering him on casino
Etcheverry was in the ascendancy now though and set up match point with a superb passing stroke before a service winner sent him through to the last eight casino
Elsewhere, Cameron Norrie had no answer to world number 10 Alexander Zverev in the second round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna casino
Zverev had won the first three meetings casino between the top-20 players and claimed a fourth in a row with an emphatic 6-2 6-4 victory casino
A superb backhand winner down the line earned Zverev a break in Norrie’s first service game and the British number one was broken again before losing the first set in 36 minutes casino
Norrie tried to wrestle his way back into the contest, but was broken again in the third game of the second set casino
It remained on serve until Norrie forced two break opportunities when Zverev was serving for the match and yet the German responded by winning four consecutive points to close out a solid win, which makes it four defeats in five for last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist casino

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi insists the upcoming clash against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon is “bad news” despite the Premier League champions’ recent form casino
The Seagulls are aiming to break their recent run of four games in all competitions without a victory, but in their way stand Pep Guardiola’s side casino
City have been going through a tough spell themselves, according to their lofty standards, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions, but return to the Etihad Stadium where they have a 100 per cent record so far this season casino
Asked whether it is a good time to face the treble winners, De Zerbi admitted the opposite casino
He told a press conference: “It is bad news casino
The big teams are not used to losing three games in the last four, but anyway we have to think for ourselves casino
“We have to improve in the quality of the play because we are not playing enough for our level and to compete for our target casino
We have to understand if we want to win or want to compete we have to play casino better than the last games casino
“Without the quality of the play, we can’t reach any target and we have to be clear casino
”Brighton have gone from strength to strength since De Zerbi walked through the door at the Amex Stadium, having delivered European casino football to the fans for the first time in the club’s history casino
Many have compared the Italian’s achievements so far to the boss in the opposite dugout and De Zerbi admits he would love to do what Guardiola has done throughout his managerial career casino
“I’m happy when I listen to Pep speak about me casino
I feel a bit embarrassed, but we are a work in progress,” De Zerbi added casino
“I think we are playing well, fighting well but we have to improve, progress and adapt a new challenge and new season casino
“Pep is a boss casino
I would like to do something the same because for many years he won in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Man City, but the way which he won is different to other coaches casino
The world will remember him not only for the victory but the way he wins, it is unique casino
”Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland has not found the back of the net in his last two league appearances which many fans have not been used to since his arrival into the league casino
But De Zerbi is extra wary of Haaland’s threat as he looks to break his mini duck casino
He added: “The big strikers when they are not scoring so many goals, they are more angry to score and have a chance to score, but its not only Haaland because Doku is a great player for them, and Alvarez casino
”Earlier on Friday, Brighton announced highly-rated winger Kaoru Mitoma had signed a new contract casino
The 26-year-old, who arrived in 2021, has been a key player in Brighton’s success and will now stay on the south coast until 2027 casino
De Zerbi said: “It’s great news casino
Kaoru is our top player casino
”Technical director David Weir added: “Ensuring that a player of Kaoru’s quality will remain with us for the long term is fantastic news casino
Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and has quickly become one of our most important players casino
