Dan Evans' unlikely run at the Barcelona Open came to an end with a third-round loss to fourth seed Dominic Thiem.
The British number three, who admits he is not a fan of clay, went into the tournament looking for his first ever ATP Tour victory on the surface.
He managed two, but Thiem proved a step too far despite another good performance from Evans.
Only a tie-break separated the pair in the first set but it was Thiem who took his chances in the second to win 7-6 (7/5) 6-2.
It was revenge for the Austrian, who became Evans' first top-10 scalp in Sydney in January.
