		</div><p>Andy Murray made an unhappy start to 2023 with a straight-sets defeat to Sebastian Korda at the Adelaide International.</p>
<p>Korda, who at 22 is 13 years Murray’s junior, had won their only previous meeting at the 2022 Gijon Open.</p>
<p>The 6ft 5in American, ranked 33 in the world and 16 places higher than the British number four, repeated that victory with a 7-6 (3) 6-3 success in one hour and 56 minutes.</p>
<p>The first set went with serve until Korda broke in the seventh game to lead 4-3.</p>
<p>Three-time grand slam champion Murray broke back instantly to set up a tie-break that Korda dominated.</p>
<p>Korda’s double break gave him a 4-1 lead and, although Murray saved one set point, the American closed out the first set in one hour and 16 minutes.</p>
<p>The second set followed a similar pattern with serve held until Korda took a 4-2 lead.</p>
<p>Murray had a break point in the next game, but he was unable to capitalise and Korda served out to secured a second-round date with Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut.</p>
