(Reuters) - Fifth seed Adrian Mannarino's disappointing run on clay continued as he suffered a 6-3 4-6 6-1 defeat by Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the opening round of the Lyon Open on Monday.
World number 71 Garcia-Lopez converted six break point opportunities to inflict a fourth straight defeat on Frenchman Mannarino, who also suffered early exits in Rome, Madrid and Barcelona.
British number three Cameron Norrie progressed with a comfortable 7-6(5) 6-1 win over Dominican Republic qualifier Jose Hernandez-Fernandez.
The 22-year-old overcame a slow start to break his opponent twice in the second set and book a second round meeting with Germany's Maximilian Marterer.
Marterer, ranked 69th in the world, rallied back from a set down to beat home favourite Gael Monfils 2-6 6-4 6-4.
