Andy Murray smashed his racket in frustration and appeared to pushed a camera out of the way following his defeat at the China Open.<\/p>\n
The former world no1 crashed out at the first round stage in Beijing after a 6-3 5-7 7-6 (8-6) defeat Alex de Minaur.<\/p>\n
Murray had been leading 5-2 in the deciding set but failed to capitalise on two match points.<\/p>\n
In a tense tie break, de Minaur raced into a lead before the Scot hit back with four points to set up a third match point only to pass it up once again, dropping both of his serves to fall to defeat.<\/p>\n
On a frustrating evening, the two-time Wimbledon champion was issued a code violation for smashing his racket on the ground after allowing his opponent to break his serve in the second set.<\/p>\n
After shaking hands with his opponent following their contest, Murray appeared to pushed a TV camera out of his way as he sought to make a quick exit off the court.<\/p>\n
Murray and de Minaur have met five times with the Australian winning each of those matches.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we probably both didn\u2019t bring our best level today so it\u2019s an absolutely scrap fest,\u2019 de Minaur said.<\/p>\n
\u2018But I\u2019m happy I was able to get my first win, probably in a very, very long time, where I\u2019ve saved some match points.t<\/p>\n
\u2018More than anything, it\u2019s probably down to my attitude. I kind of kept my head screwed on and just told myself to keep trying, keep trying and keep backing myself.<\/p>\n
\u2018And eventually I was going to find my level, and I\u2019m very happy I was able to turn that around.\u2019<\/p>\n
