Andy Murray Defeated by Ferrer

This was a good performance by Andy Murray against a tough opponent playing on a favoured surface.

It might be true to say that a more ruthless tennis player would have finished off the match when the opportunity arose, but this would overlook the hard work and skill that took Andy Murray to within one service game of finishing the match.

Comparisons are being made with last week's defeat in Monte Carlo, but this was a much tougher opponent who had to dig deep to beat Murray in 3 sets - 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-1.

Andy Murray may play later on today in the Doubles tournament.
