HERTOGENBOSCH, Netherlands — Canada's Bianca Andreescu and Milos Raonic lost their second-round matches Thursday at the Libema Open.
Andreescu was eliminated after dropping a 7-6 (6), 6-3 decision to Slovakia's Viktoria Hruncakova. Australia's Jordan Thompson topped Raonic 7-6 (4), 6-1 later in the day at the outdoor grass-court event.
"I think I just came in a little bit flatter today against a player that has been playing well and won a bunch of matches on grass already last week," Raonic said.
Andreescu, from Mississauga, Ont., had opportunities but converted only two of her 16 break-point chances. The world No. 37 was the No. 6 seed at the WTA 250-level tournament.
The unseeded Hruncakova, the world No. 105, will next face American Ashlyn Krueger in the quarterfinals.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., made a successful return to the ATP Tour earlier in the week with a first-round win over Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic.
It was the Canadian's first competitive match in almost two years. The 32-year-old had been away from the Tour to recover from Achilles tendon and toe injuries.
"I've still got to just keep plugging away," Raonic said. "I'm just enjoying the progress part of it."
Thompson will next face Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, who upset top-seeded Russian Daniil Medvedev in three sets.
