The Argentine capitalised on Murray's misfiring serve and forehand, securing a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory in two hours and 24 minutes. As Murray left the court, he acknowledged the crowd with a lingering wave. This defeat marks a departure from his previous Australian Open exploits, and the 36-year-old Scot is set to drop out of the world's top fifty rankings.
