Andy Murray's quest for his first title this season will have to wait, as he was eliminated in the fourth round at Indian Wells by Milos Raonic, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Murray didn't blame Wednesday's performance on Lendl's absence, either. Rather, it was a lack of confidence late in the match he cited, via Eric&...
