- British player wins one game in heavy last-16 defeat
- Dan Evans is beaten by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
Andy Murray crashed out of the Qatar Open as Roberto Bautista Agut strolled to a 6-0, 6-1 win in Doha. The two former Qatar champions last met at the Australian Open in 2019, when Bautista Agut claimed a marathon five-set victory.
That was the Spaniard’s only victory in four matches against Murray and the former British No 1 had appeared to be gaining in confidence during his first-round victory against Taro Daniel in Doha. That confidence quickly drained away, however, after Murray lost the first point on a backhand error.
