Top-seeded Andy Murray lost a set for the first time in three tournaments on Wednesday, but still had enough to defeat Slovakia's Martin Klizan 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-0 in the first round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna, Austria.
Murray had not dropped a set in his previous 11 matches before the second-ranked Scot struggled at times during the second set. He held leads of 4-3 and 6-5, but Klizan broke serve twice to force the tiebreak.
