Top seed Angelique Kerber stunned in Doha

Playing her first match since winning the Australian Open with superb performance against Serena Williams in the final, if we don't count this month's Fed Cup, Angelique Kerber crashed out of the Qatar Total Open, losing to China’s Zheng Saisai 7-5 6-1 in the second round.

The world two's game was not there, she complained to her coach Torben Beltz that she had no energy and 38 unforced errors to her opponent's eight speak for themselves. Kerber dropped serve six times in the encounter and handed the match in one hour and 19 minutes.
