Two days after winning a grass-court title in Stuttgart, Rafael Nadal was knocked out in the first round of the Queen's Club tournament on Tuesday when he fell 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-4 to Alexandr Dolgopolov. By contrast, top-seeded Andy Murray opened his bid to recapture the title he lost last year to Grigor Dimitrov with a comfortable 6-4, 7-5 win over Taiwanese qualifier Lu Yen-Hsun, and French Open winner Stan Wawrinka began his bid for a first grass court title by defeating Australian Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 6-4. Watched by Chelsea soccer manager Jose Mourinho and the former king of Spain, Juan Carlos, Nadal was kept under pressure throughout the match by the free-hitting Ukrainian, who ended a three-match losing streak with his second successive victory over his Spanish opponent.
