Reigning Wimbledon Grand Slam champion Ash Barty has sensationally crashed out of the US Open in the third round.

The 25-year-old Aussie blew a 5-2 lead in the deciding set to lose to unseeded American Shelby Rogers.

Barty beat Rogers on all five occasions they'd met before Sunday's loss, including four times this season. 

The World No 1 was Australia's final chance for women's singles glory at Arthur Ashe Stadium after Ajla Tomljanovic also suffered a third round loss to Czech Karolina Pliskova.
