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

Tyson Fury has vowed to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the chance to become the undisputed king of heavyweight casino boxing as the Ukrainian confirmed their meeting on 23 December in Saudi Arabia casino
Usyk was ringside for Fury’s unconvincing split-decision victory over ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Riyadh on Saturday night casino
MMA star Ngannou shockingly went the distance in his casino boxing debut, even knocking down reigning WBC heavyweight champion Fury at one point, but Fury remained undefeated casino
Two judges gave Fury the fight by scores of 96-93 and 95-94, and the other judge favoured Ngannou 95-94 casino
Fury’s championship belt was never on the line in this bout, though it counts as an official fight casino
Good thing for Fury, because Ngannou showed early in the scheduled 10-round fight that he wasn’t going anywhere casino
Afterwards Usyk, who owns the other three global heavyweight belts, turned attention to their showdown, saying: “It’s a big fight casino
The whole world wants this fight casino
We’re back in this ring, 23 December, thank you very much, I go to sleep casino
”Fury said: “It’s been going on a long time, let’s do the fight, over here, for all the belts, the undisputed title of the world casino
Listen, it’s not up to me, we’d go now casino
These guys will sort it out, it’ll be my next fight guaranteed casino
”Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said: “I don’t think the date will be announced just yet casino
This fight is on casino
Both fighters want it casino
Tyson’s got a cut there casino
We’ll see how it heals casino
It’s the biggest fight in casino boxing casino
Everybody wants to see it casino
They’ll see it in Saudi, it’ll break all box office records casino
”Fury was knocked down by Ngannou (Getty Images)Fury had previously criticised the timing of an initial announcement of his fight with Usyk, which came out during his preparations for Ngannou casino
“It wasn’t my choice,” the Briton, 35, said on The MMA Hour on Wednesday 25 October casino
“I would never in a million years do that, but the people who are putting these fights on, who are paying the money, they’re in control casino
They’re the promoters of the event casino
“So, the paymaster does what the paymaster wants, basically casino
But if it was up to me, I would have never, ever, ever done that, ever casino
Because I never count chickens before they hatch, ever [ casino
casino
casino
] They should never announce fights before the first one happens, because that’s how people get knocked out casino
“But I’m not even looking at the next fight casino
I’m only concentrating on Francis casino
If it means breaking these two hands and getting a cut right through [my eyebrow] to win, I will do it casino
Don’t worry about that casino
Nothing else matters, only Saturday night casino
“I wasn’t happy at first, for them to announce it, but there was a lot going on in the background casino
For me, I don’t concentrate on any other fight other than Saturday night casino
What happens in the future stays in the future casino
“I’m living for today and this moment casino
My moment now is to fight Francis for the ‘baddest man on the planet’ title, and when I’ve won that, only after I’ve won that, I won’t even think about my next [fight] until I’ve had a week off and spent some time with my family casino
I’ve been in camp 12 weeks casino
