Britain’s Andy Murray fell to a straight-set defeat against Russian fifth seed Andrey Rublev in the third round at Indian Wells.<\/b><\/p>\n

Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray, 36, was beaten 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 by Rublev in a high-quality match in California.<\/p>\n

Murray, who has said he is not planning to “play much past this summer”<\/a> as he considers retirement, missed four set points when leading the first set 5-4. <\/p>\n

He then quickly faded in the second after losing serve in the fourth game.<\/p>\n

Murray, who finished runner-up to Rafael Nadal at the tournament in 2009, thanked the Indian Wells crowdon what he acknowledged would be his final visit.<\/p>\n

“I’ve loved coming to this place over the years,” he said, praising the support from fans which had allowed him “to play in some amazing atmospheres and create brilliant memories – because without them it’s not the same”.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner<\/b> progressed with a straight-set victory over Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis.<\/p>\n

The Italian world number three, 22, took just 81 minutes to seal a 6-3 6-0 win and will play German Jan-Lennard Struff or Croatia’s Borna Coric in the third round. <\/p>\n

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz<\/b>, the second seed, dropped the first set against Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi but the Spaniard recovered to win 6-7 (7-5) 6-0 6-1.<\/p>\n

German sixth seed Alexander Zverev<\/b> won 6-4 6-4 against Australia’s Christopher O’Connell, while Greek 11th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/b> defeated French qualifier Lucas Pouille 6-3 6-2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
