Unseeded American Mardy Fish recorded a shock 6-4 6-4 win over world number three and defending champion Andy Murray in front of a packed crowd in the Sony Ericsson Open second round on Saturday.

Top seed Roger Federer then avoided Murray's fate with a 6-3 6-3 victory in just over an hour over Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentt.

Florida resident Fish took control by seizing the opening set against the Briton and the writing was on the wall for Murray when he surrendered his serve in the first game of the second.
