Andy Murray exits Abu Dhabi exhibition with straight sets defeat to Janko Tipsarevic Serving to stay in the match, the Scot handed the advantage to his opponent with a double-fault, before a cross-court winner and shot down the line helped him on the way to making it 5-4 in the second set. Tipsarevic was therefore given the chance to serve for victory and earned himself two match points as Murray was unable to clear a smash to the baseline. The Serbian duly served out the game and booked his place in the semi-finals and a match against Almagro. After the match, Tipsarevic told ESPN: "I am happy with my game. I know it's an exhibition match but it's not every day you get to play a grand slam champion and an Olympic gold medal winner. I'm just happy I managed to play good tennis tonight. Everyone is pumped up and it's the beginning of the season, so If I can get a few more victories heading to the Australian Open that would be brilliant. Murray said: "I'm looking forward to training very hard and playing some of my best tennis next year. It's nice to play in events like this and it's a great atmosphere to play in.
