Andy Murray v Jakub Mensik LIVE: Qatar Open tennis result and reaction as Murray loses marathon match

Here’s how Murray won that second-set tiebreak to force a decider

A huge roar of frustration from Murray as he makes a mess of the next point and it’s break point to Mensik. Second serve sent down and Mensik takes advantage!

Moves Murray one side to the other and gets the break! Murray thumps the court in frustration with his racket and yells out “BULLS***”. Surprised he didn’t get a warning for that but either way, he’s a break down in the early going.

Mensik wins the next point and Murray fiddles with his shoes afterwards. Has that tumble done a bit of damage? Great touch on the next point from the Brit though, slicing a drop shot that has Mensik sliding and then puts it away for 30-30.

Big serve brings up game point but a good point from Mensik on a long rally forces the mistake and brings us to deuce.

Murray gingerly back to his feet. He seems fine to continue. May have just shaken him up a little.

First point post-tumble is a Murray serve that is returned into the net, so we’re at 15-15

Oh no! On the very first point of the third set Murray goes down hard. It looks like he may have rolled his ankle? Concern from opponent Mensik and the umpire.

A classic Andy Murray marathon match and we wouldn’t have it any other way! After about 2 hours and 20 minutes of play, we’re heading for a deciding set in Doha.

Murray on the brink as he goes back behind Mensik with a clean backhand winner. Five set points for the Brit!

First one saved with a big first serve and the second goes begging as well as a Murray return goes wide. But here’s the big two, on Murray’s serve...

And he takes it! Mensik has a net cord but Murray thumps a backhand that the Czech can’t return and MURRAY WINS THE SECOND SET 7-3 IN A TIEBREAK!

Murray takes a long time with his second serve, then it’s called a let and he delivers again, eventually winning the point by coming to the net and putting away the backhand volley. A powerful first serve sets him up in the next point and he dictates the point from there, finishing it with a lovely drop shot.

A big couple of points for the Brit there as it’s now 3-0 with clear water between him and Mensik, even though it’s only one mini-break. Another break in play as Mensik has to re-lace his shoes again!

But Murray unfazed and now has the double mini-break as Mensik goes long! The Czech finally gets on the board at 4-1 but his next return hits the net and Murray is in complete control at 5-1 at the change of ends.

A long opening point but eventually Murray floats a backhand volley beyond the stretching Mensik. A much better start to this tiebreak than the first, when Murray double faulted.

A short break in play as Mensik heads back to his seat to replace his shoes after the laces on his initial pair appear to have frayed. All well within the rules.

Murray serving to stay in the match once again. Mensik starts in style with a sumptuous-looking lob that leaves his opponent stranded but lands just long.

Murray then into the net on the following point but this time Mensik delivers a passing shot that clips the outside of the line. The Czech goes long for 30-15 and Murray then shifts him around the court as he comes forward again to win the point.

Big serve is out, hold secured and we’re heading for a tiebreak in this second set. Surely we can’t have a tiebreak as dramatic as the first set? We’ll see.
