British number two Heather Watson went out in the first round of Wimbledon after a 3-6 6-0 12-10 defeat by German Annika Beck.
The pair resumed their rain-delayed match from Wednesday in the third set.Watson's serve was broken twice early on but she went on to win four consecutive games to level.
But the 24-year-old failed to convert three match points and it was Beck who found the elusive break in the deciding set, which lasted one hour 44 minutes.
Watson, ranked 55th in the world, will now focus on the women's doubles alongside compatriot Naomi Broady.
