Canada's Leylah Fernandez lost in the round of 32 at the Charleston Open on Wednesday, falling to Spain's Paula Badosa in straight sets, 7-5, 7-6 (6).
Fernandez had seven double faults and gave up three break points in the defeat at Volvo Car Stadium.
The 2021 U.S. Open finalist has made it past the round of 32 in a WTA singles event just once so far this year.
The 20-year-old from Montreal is currently ranked 51st in the world.
Badosa, 25, achieved the world No. 2 ranking last April, but has since fallen to No. 33 in singles play.
Toronto's Katherine Sebov also lost her match 6-0, 6-3 to fourth-seeded Belinda Bencic of Switzerland.
