Andy Murray loses to Florian Mayer at Qatar Open
- Updated: January 1, 2014
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray suffered a setback on his return from injury as he lost in three sets to Germany’s Florian Mayer at the Qatar Open.
Murray, playing his second tour match since recovering from back surgery, was beaten 3-6 6-4 6-2 in the second round.
The Scot, 26, had led by a set and 3-0 but won just three more games as Mayer took control.
Murray and Serbia’s Nenad Zimonjic then lost 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 to Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares in the doubles.
“I am stiff and sore but that’s to be expected,” said Murray. “It’s more the joints rather than muscles. I have to get used to changing direction and playing at this level again.
“I didn’t have high expectations because I have not had many matches. I was playing well and moving well at the beginning. I lost two matches but got through without any niggles or injuries.”
After Doha, Murray will head to Melbourne for the Australian Open, which begins on 13 January. He will go into the year’s first Grand Slam having played two exhibition and two ATP Tour singles matches.
