(UTV|COLOMBO) – Andy Murray fell to a first defeat since starting his comeback in doubles in the first round of the Nature Valley International at Eastbourne.
Murray and Brazilian Marcelo Melo lost 6-2 6-4 to Colombian top seeds Robert Farah and Juan Sebastian Cabal.
The Briton struggled on serve at Eastbourne, being broken three times out of four.
Murray had won the doubles alongside Feliciano Lopez at Queen’s last week in his first tournament since hip surgery.
They defeated Farah and Cabal in the first round of that tournament but the Colombian pairing were always in control at Devonshire Park.
