Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko was brought down to earth with a straight sets first round defeat to Barbora Krejcikova at the US Open on Monday.
Mboko, the 22nd seed who turns 19 on Tuesday, bowed out of the tournament after losing 6-3, 6-2.
The early exit comes just three weeks after Mboko celebrated her first WTA title with victory at the Canadian Open in Montreal.
Two-time Grand Slam singles champion Krejcikova will face Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima in the second round.
Elsewhere on Monday, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova brought the curtain down on her professional career with a 6-1, 6-0 defeat to France’s Diane Parry.
The 35-year-old Czech had already announced she planned to hang up her racket after the US Open.
