Barty bundled out of Brisbane International

Brisbane - Top-seeded Australian Ashleigh Barty was bundled out of the second round of Brisbane International by American qualifier Jennifer Brady on Thursday.

Brady recorded her first-ever win over a top 10 player with her 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) win in an hour and a half.
