Andy Murray blew an early lead as he crashed to defeat against Aslan Karatsev in the last 16 of the Zhuhai Championships in China.<\/p>\n

Murray won the first set against his world number 63 opponent but Karatsev fought back to punish the Scot\u2019s inconsistent serve and win 4-6 6-3 6-2.<\/p>\n

It was the first meeting between Murray and the Russian since they faced each other in last year\u2019s final of the Sydney Tennis Classic, which Karatsev won in straight sets.<\/p>\n

But Murray put himself in a strong position to exact revenge after saving four early break points and going on to fashion two breaks and take the opener.<\/p>\n

Murray had jetted to China on the back of helping Great Britain into the Davis Cup quarter-finals and beat wild card Ye Cong Mo in the opening round on Thursday.<\/p>\n

And fatigue possibly began to take its toll as Karatsev put himself in a dominant position in the second set, going 4-1 up. Despite a mini Murray revival, he held on to level the match.<\/p>\n

Karatsev stepped up a gear in the decider, reeling off two consecutive breaks to take a 4-0 advantage which Murray never looked likely to recover.<\/p>\n
