Barty's Wimbledon campaign over

Ashleigh Barty has followed fellow Australians Nick Kyrgios and Andrew Whittington out the Wimbledon exit gates after first-round loss to Elina Svitolina.

Ashleigh Barty's hunt for a maiden main-draw Wimbledon win continues after Australia's former junior champion crashed out in the first round.

In a tough draw, Barty saved five match points before suffering a gallant 7-5 7-6 (10-8) loss to world No.5 Elina Svitolina on Monday.

The 21-year-old entered the tournament in fine form after reaching the final in Birmingham but let an opportunity slip after failing to serve out the opening set from 5-3 up.
