World No 1 Ash Barty’s Olympic’s campaign takes another hit as she loses her doubles quarter final

Ash Barty and her partner Storm Sanders have been knocked out of the Tokyo Olympics women’s doubles after going down to the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals.

Barty and Sanders won the first set but ultimately were out played by Czech tennis stars Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova who won 3-6, 6-4, 10-7.

It comes as another blow to the world No.1 after Barty crashed out of the women’s singles in the first round.

But her Olympic campaign is not over yet with the Aussie to pair up with John Peers for the mixed doubles later on Wednesday.  

More to come.
