Murray had been honest in the run-up to the tournament that he was lacking in match fitness and sharpness of movement, and began to tire towards the end.

Yesterday he had beaten Liam Broady in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, as he returned to the court for the first time in seven months.

Edmund now tops the Tim Henman group, while current number one Dan Evans leads the Greg Rusedski group.

Elsewhere, James Ward beat Liam Broady 6-4, 6-1, and Cameron Norrie beat Ryan Peniston 3-6, 6-2, 10-4.
