Kyle Edmund is still waiting for his first victory over a top-10 player after Milos Raonic knocked him out of the Delray Beach Open quarter-finals.
The Brit had dreams of the biggest win of his career when he took the first set, but the Canadian, ranked fourth in the world, came back to claim a 4-6 6-3 6-4 success.
Edmund, who does at least regain his status as British number two from Dan Evans, matched his big-serving opponent in the first set and after making crucial break at 3-3 then served it out to take an impressive lead.
But the match was decided by a run of five successive games for Raonic.
The first three took him from 3-3 in the second set to 6-3, which he then followed up with another break and hold to take an early lead in the decider.
With Raonic's serving prowess, Edmund could not get a look in on his return games, forcing only one deuce, and Raonic advanced to the semi-finals.
