MADRID, (Reuters) – World number four Andy Murray crashed out of the Madrid Open when he was beaten 6-4 6-2 by unseeded Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci in the third round yesterday.
Briton Murray, who is returning from an elbow injury that prevented him playing at last month’s Barcelona Open, had his serve broken once in the first set and twice in the
second by the stylish left-hander in the pair’s first meeting.
Bellucci, ranked 36, saved all three break points he faced on the clay at the Magic Box arena and sealed victory on his first match point when Murray netted a backhand.
