    Ash Barty's number one ranking in jeopardy following shock loss in second round of Canadian Tennis Open

    Ash Barty's world number one tennis ranking is in serious jeopardy after the Australian was a shock casualty in the second round of the Canadian Open


    Barty has lost 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 to Sofia Kenin in Toronto , marking the American's first victory over a top-five WTA player.

    Barty, playing for the first time since losing in the fourth round at Wimbledon a month ago, struggled to find her rhythm on her return to the circuit.

    The Australian's defeat has opened the door for Naomi Osaka or Karolina Pliskova to take the top spot.

    TENNIS WITH CROWN FORKLIFTS. WHEN IT COMES TO FORKLIFTS, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A CROWN.
