British number one Kyle Edmund has been knocked out of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells after a straight-set 6-4 6-4 defeat to Israel's Dudi Sela.
Edmund, 23, looked rusty in his first match since reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January as he struggled to find his rhythm.
Sela, 32, is ranked 97th in the world and used all his experience as Edmund's serve let him down in California.
Edmund will now turn his attention to the Miami Open later this month.
Edmund, who recently replaced Andy Murray as British number one, was an early break up in the first set but failed to capitalise.
