Andy Murray commenced his grass-court season against Marcos Giron. However, the two-time Wimbledon winner – who is expected to play at SW19 for the final time this year – could not replicate Raducanu’s success, going down 3-6 4-6 to the 30-year-old in his first match since losing to Stanislas Wawrinka in his opening French Open tie.
Giron needed just 75 minutes to defeat Murray, who failed to convert any of the three break points he fashioned, while the American committed just seven errors and fired as many aces past his more experienced foe.
Elsewhere, current British number one Cameron Norrie posted a 6-1 4-6 6-3 success over Sho Shimabukuro in the Nottingham Challenger event, while Francesca Jones impressively overcame eighth seed Caroline Dolehide 7-6[3] 6-3 to advance to the second round in the WTA 250 event in the same city.
