Murray in shock Monaco exit

Roger Federer will return to second in the ATP standings next week after Andy Murray collapsed to a 6-1, 6-2 third-round loss to Stanislas Wawrinka at the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday. A shell-shocked Murray committed 24 unforced errors as he lost to Federer's Swiss compatriot, seeded 13th, in 58 minutes.
Murray, a quarter-finalist here a year ago, went nil for two on break points and lost his own serve five times in the rout which sends him back to the practise court for the next fortnight in hopes of repairing his game for the Madrid Masters in early May. "I made a lot of mistakes, 24 unforced errors is far too many. That's a set's worth. That's where half the points went," said Murray who had regained the number two world ranking on the strength of his win in the miami Masters. Rafael Nadal stepped up his campaign for an historic ninth straight title at the event as the third seed won his 44th match in a row at the venue with a 6-2, 6-4 defeat of German Philip Kohlschreiber.
