The top names continue to go out early in Australian Open tennis.

On Thursday, the tournament ended for second-seeded Ons Jabeur, after 1–2 in a set against the Czech Republic's Markéta Vondrousová, ranked 86th in the world.

On the women's side, in addition to Jabeur, world number eight Daria Kasatkina and world number nine Veronika Kudermetova have already been knocked out during the tournament's opening.

The Tunisian world number two had a good year last year where she reached the final in both Wimbledon and the US Open.

But she must continue to wait for her first grand slam title.

Perhaps it was also a knee that haunted the losing match against Vondrousová.

Even after her first-round victory, Jabeur talked about the injuries and did not look to be at her best against the Czech, who has never reached the fourth round of a grand slam tournament.
