Jamie Murray and Max Mirnyi fell to a shock first-round defeat by Thomas Johansson and Robert Lindstedt in the Regions Morgan Keegan Championship.

Murray and his Belarussian doubles partner were seeded third in Memphis but slipped to a disappointing 1-6 6-4 10-7 loss at the hands of the Swedes.

Johansson and Lindstedt had two match points at 9-7 up in the decider and took the first to wrap up the match.

Earlier this month Murray and Miryni picked up their first title together.

Mirnyi and Murray beat Americans Bob and Mike Bryan 6-4 3-6 6-6 (10-6) - five time Grand Slam title winners - at Florida's Delray Beach International.

Murray won three titles last season with American Eric Butorac but has been struggling for form since the pair split after last year's US Open.

He joined up with Mirnyi, who has 33 doubles titles to his name, at the start of the year.
