Bedene was broken three times in a 7-5 6-3 defeat to fourth seed Paolo Lorenzi in a match lasting exactly two hours.

The Slovenian-born player had gone into the tournament on a high after reaching the third round of Wimbledon earlier this month but could only take one of seven break points against his Italian opponent.
