Cameron Norrie was unable to turn his fortunes around on the British grass as he lost to huge-serving Milos Raonic in the first round at Queen's.
Canada's Raonic hit 47 aces - a record for the most in a three-set match - in a 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 7-6 (11-9) victory.
Norrie had two match points in the third-set tie-break but could not convert before Raonic took his third opportunity.
It is 28-year-old Norrie's second successive defeat on home soil after losing to 773rd-ranked qualifier Jack Pinnington-Jones in Nottingham earlier in June.
A difficult season has seen Norrie win 15 and lose 14 of his 29 matches.
