However, the Murray said he was happy with his performance.<br /><br />"I thought it was a good match, a high standard, there were a lot of good points, I just didn't convert my chances," he said.<br /><br />"I didn't make enough returns and he served a very high percentage so that was the only disappointing thing. I wasn't able to create many break point opportunities because that's normally the best part of my game."<br /><br />Ferrer will face French seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga next after he comfortably dispatched Colombian qualifier Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 6-4.
