- Australian world No 1 collapses against unseeded American
- Ajla Tomljanović loses in straight sets to Karolína Plíšková
World No 1 Ash Barty has crashed out of the US Open with a shock third-round collapse against inspired American Shelby Rogers. Barty blew a 5-2 double-break lead in the deciding set of a 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (7-5) defeat to the 43rd-ranked Rogers at Flushing Meadows.
Barty had beaten the unseeded 28-year-old in their previous five encounters, including four times this season, leaving even Rogers open-mouthed in disbelief after her stunning comeback win.
