Barty’s exit leaves former finalist Samantha Stosur and 24th seed Daria Gavrilova to fly the Australian flag.


Stosur, runner-up at Roland Garros in 2010 and a semi-finalist in 2009, 2012 and 2016, is through to the third round for the 10th straight year.


The veteran clay-court star plays 2016 champion Garbine Muguruza in a repeat of their semi-final two years ago after denying doubles partner Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) earlier on Thursday.


Gavrilova saved a match point in snatching a 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 victory from the jaws of defeat against American Bernarda Pera.


The great escape set up a return clash with Belgian 16th seed Elise Mertens, who eliminated Gavrilova from both last year’s French Open and the Australian Open in January.
