Taylor Fritz holds off Andy Murray after Citi Open thriller hit by climate protest

• Fritz criticises annoying' protesters after epic three-hour win
• Dan Evans wins twice in one day to reach Washington semis

Andy Murray came up just short in a three-hour marathon in Washington DC against the world No 9, Taylor Fritz, in a Mubadala Citi Open last-16 match briefly held up by a climate protest.

The 36-year-old, runner-up in this tournament 17 years ago, won the first set on a tie-break and looked to be closing on another of his occasional statement wins since his comeback from hip surgery, when he had three break points for a 4-2 lead in the deciding set.
