LONDON (Reuters) - Four-times champion Lleyton Hewitt of Australia lost 6-7 7-5 6-2 to South African Kevin Anderson on his 16th and final appearance at the Queen's club Wimbledon warm-up tournament on Monday.

The 34-year-old Hewitt, a former Wimbledon champion, served for the match in the second set, but Anderson, the world number 17, fought back and will face Nick Kyrgios or Stan Wawrinka in the second round.

"This has been one of my favorite tournaments," Hewitt told reporters.

"I love the whole month in London. I'm going to have so many great memories of this tournament."

Third seed Milos Raonic of Canada beat Briton James Ward 5-7 6-3 6-2.

Ward, world number 109, took the first set before Raonic overpowered the home favorite to advance.
