Another upset has rocked the 2017 Australian Open, with world number one and five-time runner-up Sir Andy Murray crashing out of the tournament following a four-set loss to Germany’s Mischa Zverev.
Murray assumed favouritism for the title following second seed and six-time champion Novak Djokovic’s surprising second round exit on Thursday. It appeared the Scot would take his chance with both hands after he defeated Sam Querrey the day after his Serbian rival’s exit.
It was his third consecutive straight-sets victory at the tournament, following those over Illya Marchenko and Andrey Rublev in his opening two matches.
But nobody had forecast what was to happen when he came up against Mischa Zverev, a German journeyman whose younger brother and rising star Alex stretched Rafael Nadal to the limit on Rod Laver Arena twenty-four hours earlier, on the same court on Sunday afternoon.
Zverev saved a break point in the second game of the match and edged ahead late in the opening set to take it 7-5. However, the Scot would hit back in the second set, taking it by the same scoreline to level proceedings at one set all.
