Andy Murray beaten by top seed Hubert Hurkacz in Moselle Open quarter-final

Andy Murray has had two operations on his right hip in the past three years

Andy Murray is out of the Moselle Open after the former world number one was beaten by top seed Hubert Hurkacz.

Hurkacz survived three break points to hold for 4-4 in a close opening set, which he clinched in a tie-break.

The 2021 Wimbledon semi-finalist closed out the match after breaking Murray's serve for a 3-1 lead in the second set.

Britain's Murray, a wildcard at the event and currently 113th in the rankings, had beaten the world number 26 Ugo Humbert and Vasek Pospisil, ranked 66th, to reach the last eight.

The three-time Grand Slam champion, who reached the Moselle final in 2007, maintained the pressure on Hurkacz until the end and survived two match points to set up a break-back opportunity - but the Pole held his nerve.

The Scot, 34, lost in the first round of the US Open to world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas in August and fell in last 16 at the Rennes Open last week.

Hurkacz's next opponent, world number 101 Gojowczyk, came from a set down to defeat American Marcos Giron 3-6 6-1 6-3.
