Davis Cup hero Kyle Edmund came crashing down to earth with defeat in the first round of the ATP Rogers Cup in Toronto.
The 21-year-old, who starred for Great Britain in Serbia last weekend, slumped 3-6 6-3 6-2 to Canadian wildcard Steven Diez.
Edmund, the British number two, was moved into the main draw of the Masters event following a host of withdrawals including Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Everything seemed to be going to plan for the world number 84 as he broke in the fourth game and took the first set in 31 minutes.
However, he lost successive service games, breaking back once, to drop the second as Diez began to take control.
Diez, ranked 108 places below Edmund, piled on the misery with two further breaks in the final set to wrap up victory in just over an hour and three quarters.
