Queen's loss adds to Andy's anxiety

LONDON - Andy Murray said he will have to improve dramatically to mount a successful defense of his Wimbledon title after the world No 1 meekly exited the Queen's Club tournament on Tuesday.

Murray crashed to one of the worst defeats of his career as Australian world No 90 Jordan Thompson ended the Scot's reign as Queen's champion with an astonishing 7-6 (4), 6-2 first-round victory.

Making the 30-year-old's humiliation even worse, Thompson, originally beaten in the qualifying rounds, was only playing as a last-minute replacement for the injured Aljaz Bedene.
