James Ward has been beaten by Feliciano Lopez in the second round of the Indian Wells Masters, despite winning the first set.
The Briton was in top form early on, holding serve and breaking his opponent to take a 4-2 lead.
He took advantage of his strong start to secure the set 6-3, but his match began to unravel at the start of the second, as Lopez raced into a 3-0 lead.
Another break of serve for the Spaniard then brought him level. The third set was very competitive, with both men trading blows.
However, Lopez broke Ward again to go through 3-6 6-2 6-4.
