Fourth seed Simona Halep was dumped from the Australian Open at the first hurdle for the second successive year on Monday, having no answer to the power of American Shelby Rogers.
The out-of-sorts Romanian, who called for medical attention after losing the first set, went down 6-3, 6-1 on day one in hot conditions at the Rod Laver Arena.
It was a case of deja vu for the right-hander, who was sent packing at the same stage last year by Chinese qualifier Zhang Shuai.
