- Candidates bite the dust in week one, TheAustralian.com, August 11, 2013.

3. Andy Murray once again bit the dust in the California desert, falling in the third round to claycourt specialist Federico Delbonis.

It was another early Indian Wells exit for the world number two Murray, who has made it past the quarter-finals of the ATP tour event just once in the last six years.

“I have just never really found a way to get comfortable here throughout my career. It’s a shame,” said Murray, who reached the Indian Wells final seven years ago but also lost back-to-back opening matches in 2011 and 2017. The two-time Grand Slam winner was ousted 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7/3) by 53rd ranked Argentinian Delbonis.
