LONDON (Reuters) - The top three seeds withered in the baking Queen's Club sunshine with five-times Aegon Championships winner Andy Murray following Stan Wawrinka and Milos Raonic through the exit door on Tuesday.

By far the biggest shock was number one seed Murray's abject 7-6(4) 6-2 defeat to Australian world number 90 Jordan Thompson -- a late call-up who only knew he was playing shortly before stepping on court against the defending champion.
