Andy Murray saw red as he beat Ivo Karlovic to reach the last 16 of the Indian Wells tournament in California.

Murray lost his temper as he beat the 6ft 10ins Croatian 7-6 6-7 6-3 to set up a match against the unseeded German Tommy Haas.

"I was getting really angry and I have not done that this year" - Andy Murray

Murray said: "I was disappointed with my attitude during the match, I was getting really angry and I haven't done that this year.

"I was just in a bad frame of mind and you can sometimes snap out of it, but when you're playing someone who is as frustrating to play against as him, it's difficult.

"I was just happy with the way I came through in the end because I was not focusing as well as I should have been."

Top seed Roger Federer is also through to the last 16 after a straight sets win over Nicolas Mahut.
