Jo-Wilfried Tsonga became the latest star to crash out of Queen's Club as the World No. 10 was beaten 6-4, 6-4 by Luxembourg's Gilles Muller yesterday.
Fifth seeded Tsonga is traditionally a powerful force on grass and finished as Queen's runner-up in 2011, while twice appearing in the Wimbledon semi-finals.
But the 32-year-old, who has won titles in Lyon, Marseille and Rotterdam in 2017, was out of sorts from start to finish against the big-serving Muller.
It took Muller just 69 minutes to hand Tsonga another frustrating loss on the heels of his embarrassing first round exit against Renzo Olivo at the French Open.
"Sometimes you cannot do anything because the guy in front of you is doing the right things to make you play in a bad way," Tsonga said.
