Melbourne, Jan. 20 -- Great Britain's Katie Boulter exited the Australian Open after being outclassed by Belinda Bencic in a straight-set first-round loss here on Tuesday.
Boulter, the world number 113, was a last-minute entry into the main draw following a withdrawal - which spared her from having to compete in qualifying, according to BBC Sport.
Handed a tough opening match, she could not initially compete with Swiss 10th seed Bencic and conceded the first set in just 26 minutes, without winning a game.
