But the turning point came when Mexican Gonzalez and Young from the United States broke Murray at 5-3 in the second set.

They went on to level the match and then, after both teams had been under pressure in the third set, one stinging Gonzalez return proved the difference in the third-set tie-break.

Meanwhile, British Boys number one, Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic defeated France’s Jamee Floyd Angele in two seeds, 6-3 6-1.
