Andy Murray’s poor finish to the season continued with a fourth defeat in five matches despite a marathon effort against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in Basel casino

British number three Murray had snapped a three-match losing streak with a hard-fought victory over Yannick Hanfmann on Monday and claimed the first set of this last-16 tie at the Swiss Indoors casino

Etcheverry, ranked eight places above Murray in 32nd, was able to fight back impressively and it was the Argentinian who prevailed 6-7 (5) 6-3 6-2 after a three-hour-and-eight-minute battle casino

The early exchanges of set one proved an insight into what was in store for an excitable crowd at the ATP 500 event with breaks traded by both players casino

After Murray was broken in his first service game, he responded with a superb lob for break point before a volley at the net got the tie back on serve at 2-2 casino

A tie-break was eventually required and a classy drop shot helped three-time grand-slam champion Murray draw first blood casino

The 84-minute set appeared to take its toll on Murray at the beginning of the second with Etcheverry able to establish an early advantage and he saved four break points in a lengthy seventh game on his way to forcing a decider casino

Murray was struggling physically by this point and a racket felt the force of his anger despite the Swiss crowd cheering him on casino

Etcheverry was in the ascendancy now though and set up match point with a superb passing stroke before a service winner sent him through to the last eight casino

Elsewhere, Cameron Norrie had no answer to world number 10 Alexander Zverev in the second round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna casino

Zverev had won the first three meetings casino between the top-20 players and claimed a fourth in a row with an emphatic 6-2 6-4 victory casino

A superb backhand winner down the line earned Zverev a break in Norrie’s first service game and the British number one was broken again before losing the first set in 36 minutes casino

Norrie tried to wrestle his way back into the contest, but was broken again in the third game of the second set casino

It remained on serve until Norrie forced two break opportunities when Zverev was serving for the match and yet the German responded by winning four consecutive points to close out a solid win, which makes it four defeats in five for last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist casino

Two elderly men were suited casino

In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion casino

He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent casino

He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” casino

He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up casino

“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said casino

“He’s me brother casino

”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC casino Sports Personality of the Year award casino

The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died casino

The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air casino

They were not always close but their achievements will live on casino

There have been 22 men’s casino football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 casino

It remains the most famous year in English casino football history; perhaps it always will casino

At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA casino Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France casino Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup casino

Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player casino

They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both casino

Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt casino

RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English casino footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps casino

His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed casino

He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory casino

Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about casino football coming home, Charlton brought it back casino

Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net casino

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it casino

He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular casino

Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ casino

He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond casino

It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought casino

If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist casino

With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions casino

The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected casino

On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other casino

They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 casino

Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over casino

But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole casino

He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster casino

He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden casino

Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner casino

But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English casino football; the face of what is now a bygone age casino

In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades casino

And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game casino
