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

Gareth Southgate vowed not to let a “popularity contest” sway his selections as the England boss threw his full support behind Jordan Henderson days after the stand-in skipper was jeered off at Wembley casino
The Euro 2020 runners-up are within touching distance of qualifying for next summer’s finals and will seal their spot in Germany should they avoid defeat to Italy on Tuesday evening casino
Wembley will welcome a second sell-out crowd in five days after Friday’s friendly against Australia brought an impressive turnout for what proved to be a largely forgettable 1-0 friendly win casino
The main talking point after the match was the reaction for Henderson as the former Liverpool skipper played his first match on home soil since his controversial switch to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq casino
The 33-year-old was jeered when he was substituted in the second half – negativity that Southgate said “defies logic” at the time and a reaction that he underlined on Monday will never impact his decisions casino
RecommendedJordan Henderson: ‘If people want to boo me for playing in Saudi Arabia, that’s fine’Gareth Southgate fired up as England face ‘revitalised’ Italy in crunch clashGareth Southgate questions why England fans booed Jordan HendersonAsked if he would continue selecting Henderson if the boos continue, Southgate said: “Yes, 100 per cent casino
“I’ll always pick the players that I think are the best players to represent the team, that give us the best chance of winning, unless there’s something that I feel is not appropriate casino
“In this instance, people may disagree with Jordan’s stance or decision given the stance he’s taken in the past to support the LGBT community casino
“But I don’t think that’s a reason to not select him casino
I don’t actually think that’s a reason to boo him casino
“We would like all the fans behind us casino
We’re a stronger team if the supporters are with us and wholeheartedly supporting the team casino
That’s the connection we’ve had over a long period of time now casino
“We’ll assess Jordan like every other player casino
But if I just select on a popularity contest, then our team would look very, very different casino
”Jordan Henderson was booed at Wembley (PA Wire)Southgate also explained Friday’s comments saying that he did not understand why Henderson received a negative reaction, clarifying he was talking more broadly about backing England players casino
“Hopefully what I explained at the start would explain why I said I don’t understand it, in that I don’t understand why we would boo our own team,” he said casino
“What I do understand is that people would feel that the decision Jordan made to go and play there doesn’t align with his strong support of the LGBTQ community in the past casino
“I’ve not seen him comment anywhere differently casino
I don’t believe he’s an individual whose values and principles have changed casino
“And I would back him against pretty much everybody in the country in terms of what he stands for, what he believes in casino
“But I accept the decision to go and play there doesn’t align with that casino
He understands that, he accepts that, but, I repeat, when we’re playing for England, I feel as if everybody should be behind the team casino
“But if people choose not to be, then we have to deal with it casino
”Southgate says he will always defend the likes of Henderson and oft-derided Harry Maguire, given their long-standing roles in a team that needs strength and unity casino
The England team backed the latter after he was mocked mercilessly by Scotland fans last month and Kyle Walker showed his support for Henderson after jeers from their own fans on Friday casino
“It’s not nice to hear,” the experienced right-back said casino
“I’ve known Jordan since probably the age of nine, when we played Sheffield United v Sunderland casino
“To see what he’s done for the country for so many years and what he does around the team as well, as we know him casino
“It’s a family in there and we spend (time) together in a hotel and he’s a big part of the togetherness and keeping the group together casino
“He’s making sure that everyone feels welcome, when new players come in or people step in casino
“It’s obviously not nice hear, but people are entitled to their opinions casino
But I fully back Jordan, his decision and what he’s had to do casino
