Pegula had no answers to the 22-year-old, who set up an all-French third-round clash with Oceane Dodin, conqueror of Italy's Martina Trevisan.
American world number five Jessica Pegula Thursday became the highest seed to depart the Australian Open, upset by young French star Clara Burel 6-4, 6-2.
The fifth seed had no answers to the 22-year-old, who set up an all-French third-round clash with Oceane Dodin, conqueror of Italy’s Martina Trevisan.
“I’m still shaking,” said Burel, who has never gone beyond a Grand Slam second round before. “I’m just really happy to be through.
“That’s nice that I play Oceane, because it means one of us will be in the fourth round. I’m sure it will be a great match.”
Pegula won the Montreal WTA 1000 trophy last season as well as a title in Seoul.
