Strong Start Followed by Disappointing Finish
Murray started the match on a high note, winning the first set in a tie-break after 77 minutes. However, his opponent, Tomas Martin Etcheverry, fought back and ultimately secured the victory with a score of 6-7 6-3 6-2 after three hours on court.
Murray's Recent Struggles
This defeat marks Murray's fourth loss in his last five matches. He has had early exits in tournaments in Zhuhai, Beijing, and Shanghai, with his only win coming on Monday.
Frustration and Physicality Take a Toll
Murray's frustration was evident throughout the match, as he repeatedly slammed his racket into the court. Additionally, he visibly struggled with the physical demands of the game, bending over from the middle of the second set.
Ranking Woes
Despite his efforts, Murray remains behind Dan Evans in the rankings. Evans, however, had to withdraw from his first-round clash in Vienna due to a calf injury. This setback could potentially end Evans' season.
Challenges Ahead for Great Britain Davis Cup Team
Murray's recent string of losses, combined with Cameron Norrie's struggles, puts the Great Britain Davis Cup team in a difficult position. They face Novak Djokovic's Serbia in November and will need to regroup and find their form before the match.

Andy Murray's frustration and disappointment were on full display during his latest defeat. As he continues to battle for victories, fans and spectators will be eagerly watching to see if he can turn his luck around and regain his winning form.
