Andy Murray suffered another heartbreaker against Alex de Minaur as he crashed out of the Rolex Paris Masters despite serving for the victory twice and holding a match point. The Brit came into the match with a 0-5 record against the Australian and he extended his losing streak as de Minaur came through 7-6(6) 4-6 7-5, winning the last five games in a row.<\/p>\n

Murray had already suffered defeat to de Minaur on three occasions this year. The Australian routined Murray in Monte Carlo and Queen\u2019s before edging out the Brit in a close contest at the recent China Open. It was the same story of frustration for Murray early on in the match, as he was broken on a double fault in an opening seven-minute game.<\/p>\n

But the world No 40 refused to let his opponent run away with it, clearly hungry for his first win over de Minaur in six meetings.\u00a0 With his team spurring him on, Murray sprung into life as he broke to love to level things at 4-4. It was all one-way traffic for the 2016 champion, who won three games in a row and had three set points with the world No 13 serving at 4-5 down.<\/p>\n

Murray couldn\u2019t do anything with his set point chances as de Minaur kept himself alive. It was a shaky first-set tiebreak for both men, with Murray struggling to find his first serve. The pair traded mini-breaks until the 24-year-old had a chance to serve for it at 6-4.\u00a0De Minaur served a double fault but he still managed to close out the 66-minute set courtesy of an error from Murray.\u00a0<\/p>\n
