In an upset, Tennis world no 1 Ash Barty eliminated from Tokyo Olympics
Australia's Ashleigh Barty, the top-ranked women's tennis player in the world, is out of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 in Round 1.
The top-ranked player Australian was crashed out after suffering a 6-4, 6-3 defeat to Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo on Sunday.
Barty, a 25-year-old two-time Grand Slam champion, was playing in her first Olympic Games. She won the 2021 Wimbledon tournament earlier this month.
She won a doubles match with Australian teammate Storm Sanders on Saturday.
Barty, who won Wimbledon just 15 days ago, dropped serve twice in each set as 48th-ranked Sorribes Tormo made just five unforced errors to the Australian’s 27 to earn a shock win.
Sorribes will next play either France's Fiona Ferro or Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia after the biggest win of her career.
