The tie-break was just as close as the second set, with the Belgians just edging out on top 8-10.
This led to a match tie-break, bringing up recent memories from their match-up on Sunday, which saw Murray and Evans save five match points against their Japanese opponents in the previous round.
It appeared to be more of the same again for the Britons, with their opponents taking a 7-9 lead and two match points.
