Garcia-Lopez upset Murray at Indian Wells 2012
What a horrible day for Andy Murray at Indian Wells. The Scott was sent packing in the second round at the BNP Paribas Open after losing 64 62 to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez .
Murray had saved chances to break his opponent during the match but the Spaniard was in top form and saved them all. He also was able to break the world number 4 three times to claim the win.
"It's one of the biggest wins in my career," Garcia-Lopez said. "It gives me a lot of confidence, as my ranking right now is not too good, so I wanted to improve it. This victory gives me some confidence that I can do better this season."
"I didn't move my best tonight, but it didn't feel like I was moving really badly," said Murray. "My return let me down, and he hardly missed the ball, either. That's the thing. The level of tennis nowadays you get no easy first round matches and you play poor match, that's what happens. So can't allow it to happen. I don't know exactly why because I was playing really, really good tennis the whole of the week and the buildup to it."
Garcia-Lopez will next face Ryan Harrison, who beat Viktor Troicki 7-6(5), 6-3.
