NOTTINGHAM,United Kingdom: Top seed David Ferrer suffered a Wimbledon warm-up headache on Tuesday, losing to Marcos Baghdatis at the Nottingham ATP tournament.

The Spanish world number seven emerged from his first outing on grass this year with a 6-2, 7-6 (7/4) defeat to the unseeded Cypriot.

Baghdatis bagged his first win against a Top 10 player in two years by firing nine aces and converting over 70 percent of his service points.

The 33-year-old Ferrer, winner of three ATP titles this season, was making his first appearance at Nottingham in 11 years.

Ferrer, a French Open finalist in 2013, lost to Andy Murray in the quarterfinals of the Roland Garros Grand Slam at the start of the month.

He progressed to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2013, where he came unstuck against Juan Martin del Potro.

While Ferrer heads off to the practice courts to continue his preparations for the All England club, Baghdatis can look forward to a third round date with German teenager Alexander Zverev.

The 18-year-old progressed after ousting Brazilian 13th seed Thomaz Belluci 6-7 (7/9), 6-3, 6-4 in two hours and 25 minutes.

Elsewhere Tuesday, Taylor Fritz enjoyed a memorable ATP World Tour debut, the 17-year-old American defeating Pablo Carreno Busta 6-1, 6-4 in the first round.

Fritz is the top-ranked junior after reaching the Roland Garros boys’ singles final and was awarded a wild card into the main draw at Nottingham.

He now faces third seed Feliciano Lopez.

Bouchard finally finds rhythm

In Eastbourne, United Kingdom, Eugenie Bouchard won only her second match since mid-March after struggling to find form, earning a 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 defeat of Alison Riske on Tuesday at the Eastbourne International.

The former top 10 player, now ranked 12th, at 2-10 over her last dozen matches as the form which took the 21-year-old to the Wimbledon title match, as well as Australian Open and Roland Garros semifinals in 2014, disappeared in 2015.

Bouchard’s second-round victory in one hour 40 minutes was her first on grass this season and could not have come at a better time, with Wimbledon starting in six days.

Two other seeds met upset fates in the second round, with Briton Johanna Konta extending her hometown win streak with a knockout of Russian fourth seed Ekaterina Makarova 6-2, 6-4.

“It’s important for me not to treat it differently, I do believe very much so that I do need to approach every match exactly the same with my same intentions and personal goals,” said the number 146 wild card.

“I’m just happy that I was able to do that today and I’m looking forward to my next opportunity to be able to do that again.”

American Sloane Stephens eliminated Spanish clay ace Carla Suarez Navarro, seeded fifth, 6-1, 7-5. Czech eighth seed Karolina Pliskova beat Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-4, 7-5 and German tenth seed Andrea Petkovic beat Caroline Garcia 6-2, 6-4 to level her summer grass record at 1-1.
