Andy Murray has lost in straight sets in the first round of the Canadian Open but fellow Briton Cameron Norrie progressed at the tournament in Montreal.

Three-time champion Murray was beaten 6-1 6-3 by American Taylor Fritz.
British number one Norrie, who lost in the final of the Los Cabos Open to Daniil Medvedev on Sunday, beat American Brandon Nakashima 6-4 6-4.
There were also wins for Britain’s Jack Draper and Dan Evans.
After a 24-hour delay because of rain, Fritz – world number 13 and a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon last month – produced a dominant performance that several times reduced Murray to smashing his racquet against the court in frustration.
It took Norrie just took just 73 minutes to beat Nakashima.
