World No.1 Ashleigh Barty fell at the first hurdle at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, while the star of the tournament Naomi Osaka made a victorious return to tennis.
Just two weeks after winning Wimbledon, Barty got stunned by Spanish world No.48 Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-4 6-3. Fifty-five unforced errors contributed to the Australian’s shocking loss, while her opponent committed 13. This is the biggest ever victory for Sorribes Tormo, who has never been past the second round of a Grand Slam.
Barty is still not completely out of the Tokyo Olympics, as she’s still in the women’s doubles draw.
