Misfiring Murray goes out to Haas
Andy Murray surrendered a one-set lead to crash out of the Pacific Life
Open 2-6 7-5 6-3 to Germany's Tommy Haas.
The British number one started strongly, breaking in the third and
fifth games to take the opening set.
Murray's serve deserted him in the second and Haas stormed to a 4-1 lead,
and although Murray recovered the break, the German broke again to level.
Murray then passed up five break points in the decider, and paid for it
as Haas broke him to love and then served out.

The Scottish 20-year-old berated himself afterwards, saying: "If I had
played a bit more aggressively in the third set - like I did in the first
set - then I would have won the match.
I got annoyed a couple of times but that was more because I was playing a
bit defensive

"I still think I was good enough to win the match but I didn't."
Murray had vowed to keep his temper under control against Haas having
failed to stay calm in his third-round victory over Ivo Karlovic.
But it was another outburst in the final set against Haas that seemed to
turn the tide for the German, who is making his comeback from shoulder
surgery.
After missing a chance to break Haas at 4-3, Murray screamed out in
frustration, but that only succeeded in firing up Haas who immediately broke
the Briton to love.
The German set up two match points and Murray netted on the second of
them to hand Haas victory.

Murray was at least happier with his on-court attitude than he had been
after his win over Ivo Karlovic in the previous round.
"It was better than yesterday, that's for sure," he said.
"I got annoyed a couple of times but that was more because I was playing a
bit defensive and wasn't quite finding a way to get on the offensive in the
third set.
"But the mindset was way better today than it was yesterday. I was much
calmer at the start of the match."
There was better news for the British number one's brother, Jamie Murray,
who reached the semi-finals of the men's doubles with Belarusian playing
partner Max Mirnyi.
The duo enjoyed a superb 5-7 6-4 (10-6) win over American top seeds Bob
and Mike Bryan after a match tie-break.
The victory sets up a last-four meeting with Israeli duo Jonathan Erlich
and Andy Ram.
