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

Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series casino
Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over casino
The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game casino
But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins casino
On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again casino
“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would casino
To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising casino
There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well casino
”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease casino
“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said casino
“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease casino
casino
casino
That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game casino
But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched casino
I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone casino
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease casino
I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket casino
Look at the Mankads and everything like that casino
You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that casino
“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into casino
You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out casino
”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping casino
In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident casino
And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping casino
He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen casino
And, as you do, everyone’s watching casino
Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ casino
”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches casino
“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said casino
“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground casino
Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground casino
Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg casino
Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball casino
However, they were splayed widely casino
But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give casino
”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination casino
England next play Sri Lanka on Thursday in Bangalore casino
