Murray dumped out

Andy Murray's comeback from injury was abruptly ended when Italian qualifier Fabio Fognini inflicted a 6-2 6-2 defeat on the Scot at the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

The 13th seed made a successful return to action on Tuesday when he beat American Robby Ginepri in straight sets in his first match since sustaining an injury to his right wrist in mid-May.

However, the 20-year-old, who did not attempt many big forehands in his opening-round win, could not repeat the feat against the 139th-ranked Fognini.

The Italian recorded five breaks of serve and repelled Murray on all but one of the British number one's six break points.

Murray especially struggled on his second serve, losing 77% of the points.

Fognini, who had not beaten a player ranked higher than 53rd this season, set the tone when he broke Murray in the first game and then raced out to a 4-1 advantage before closing out the first set.

The 20-year-old world number 14 did the same in the second set, capitalising on all three of his break chances.

Although Murray broke back for 4-2, his opponent broke again and served out to end the Dunblane teenager's run in Canada.
