Australian eighth seed Ajla Tomljanovic has been knocked out of the first round of the Nottingham Open.
The Croatian-born star who calls Brisbane home was one of two seeds to taste defeat on Monday as top-level women's tennis return to the central England grass-court venue for the first time in 42 years.
Tomljanovic went down 4-6 7-6 (7-1) 7-5 to Lauren Davis of the United States.
Fourth seed Karin Knapp lost 6-4 6-2 to Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer.
Other winners before rain arrived late in the afternoon were Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, Bojana Jovanovski and Ana Konjuh.
World no.13 Agnieszka Radwanska is the only member of the top 20 playing in the Wimbledon warm-up tournament, and is looking to rebound from a first-round loss at the French Open.
