Aussie No.1 falls at first hurdle at revived Queen's

Daria Kasatkina has suffered her worst defeat since switching to represent Australia in late March, beaten 6-1 3-6 6-3 by fast-rising Brit Sonay Kartal at the revived Queen's Club women's tournament.

Kasatkina was fresh off a promising run to the last 16 at Roland Garros last week, and her weekend engagement to long-term partner Natalia Zabiiako, a former Olympic skater.

But her joy was soured, temporarily at least, as Kartal delighted the home crowd in the first women's tournament at Queen's in more than 50 years.
