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.
