Murray crashes out of Dubai Open Championships

British tennis star Andy Murray has crashed out of the Dubai Championships and admitted that he wasn't prepared.

The Scot, playing in his first event since losing in the final of the Australian Open last month, went down 7-6 4-6 6-4 to Serb Janko Tipsarevic.

The Sun quoted Murray, 22, as saying: "It is always disappointing to lose but I didn't have much expectation from the tournament.

"I am coming from a big break after the Australian Open and was not as prepared as I should have been," he added.
