Two-time champion Andy Murray suffered a straight-set loss to Dusan Lajovic in the first round at the Miami Open.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Former world number one Murray, winner in both 2009 and 2013, was beaten 6-4 7-5 by the 76th-ranked Serb.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It comes a week after the fatigued 35-year-old Scot lost to Jack Draper in the third round at Indian Wells.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fellow Briton Kyle Edmund is also out after losing 7-5 7-5 to Wu Yibing, while <\/span>Emma Raducanu was defeated<\/span><\/a> in the women’s draw by Bianca Andreescu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Murray, currently 52nd in the world, won a remarkable seven deciding sets among several marathon victories in an exhausting opening to his 2023 season.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he was unable to produce the response required after Lajovic, 32, forced the first break of serve in game seven and went on to clinch the opening set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Murray hinted that another memorable comeback could be on the cards as he broke back immediately to stay in the second set at 5-5.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Lajovic moved quickly to extinguish those hopes with another break and was relieved to serve out the match in straight sets when Murray framed a forehand.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I didn’t close it out I thought it’s happening again,” Lajovic, who will play American Maxime Cressy, said of Murray’s ability to battle back.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a disappointing result for Murray, who had not lost in the opening round of a tournament since early January, and he is now 8-5 overall this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Some days you obviously don’t hit the ball your best, but my movement wasn’t great today,” Murray said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I served pretty well, but the rest of the game was a bit of a problem.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
