Andy Murray was denied a place in the semi-finals at the inaugural Gijon Open after losing a decider against Sebastian Korda.

Murray then took the first five games of set two en route to drawing level - only to lose the first five of set three as Korda surged to victory. Murray - handed a wildcard for a tournament debut delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic - was broken by Korda in the third and seventh games of set one on Friday to fall 5-2 behind, subsequently breaking back in the eighth but unable to turn things around. The former British No1 trailed 6-4 in Friday night’s last-eight clash in north-west Spain but came roaring back to take the second set 6-1 before losing the third by the same scoreline in a frustrating contest that lasted for two hours and 27 minutes, failing to follow up on his victories over Pedro Cachin and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
