Barty, a 25-year-old two-time Grand Slam champion, was playing in her first Olympic Games. She won the 2021 Wimbledon tournament earlier this month.
This marks the second Olympics in a row where a top seed lost in the first round. In 2016, No. 1 Novak Djokovic lost to Juan Martin del Potro. Djokovic, again the top seed, already won his first-round match in Tokyo.
