Anne Keothavong suffered a humiliating defeat in qualifying for the BNP Paribas Open, losing to a player ranked 300 places below her.
Wildcard entrant Monica Puig, a 17-year-old from Puerto Rico, took 84 minutes to record a resounding 6-4 6-1 triumph in Indian Wells.
Heather Watson put up a greater fight, but she too succumbed to defeat against experienced Belgian Kirsten Flipkens.
Watson, who reached the quarters at the Memphis Open last month, was beaten 6-2 7-6(4) after twice failing to close out the second set on serve.
