Britain's Johanna Konta was knocked out of the Aegon Classic in the second round by American Coco Vandeweghe.
Konta, the highest seed left in the Birmingham event, was beaten 6-1 6-3 in 64 minutes by the world number 30.
The world number seven won only 11 points in losing the first set in 24 minutes and became frustrated as Vandeweghe finished the match strongly.
The Briton will now play at Eastbourne where she will hope for a good run in the last event before Wimbledon starts.
Konta, 26, was unable to find the form that helped her reached the Nottingham Open final last weekend and was overpowered by her opponent.
"The match showed two ends of the spectrum. She played very well and was hitting a big ball," said the Briton.
"I didn't find my footing and once you go down as I did in the first set it's very difficult to get back in the match.
"I think I did a reasonable job of playing as well as I could after that but it was nowhere near enough."
