Britain's James Ward has been edged out in three sets by world number 54 Ivan Dodig in round one of the Queen's Club Championships.
Ward clinched the opening set 10-8 in a tie-break but squandered match points in the second, as his Croatian opponent levelled the match in another tie-break 7-3.
The 26-year-old then had the chance to serve out the match at 5-4 before Dodig rallied to seal the win 7-2 in a third tie-break.
Dodig will face fellow countryman and defending champion Marin Cilic in the next round.
