Andy Murray was knocked out of the Qatar Open by 18-year-old Jakub Mensik after being edged out 7-6 6-7 7-6 in a remarkable second-round match in Doha. Down a double-break at 5-2 in the third set, Murray twice broke Mensik when the Czech was serving for the match, but the teenager composed himself to emerge victorious in the deciding tie-break. It was a fitting finale to a match that swung wildly back and forth between the two players.
The second set stayed with serve but, at 5-5, Murray had the chance to potentially avoid another breaker as he led 30-40 on the Mensik serve, only for a lucky break at the net to go his opponent's way. Murray regrouped and played arguably his best tennis of the match in his subsequent service game and in claiming the second-set tie-break, but it seemingly sapped the remaining reserves of energy from the former British No 1.
