Great Britain's Dan Evans missed out on the Australian Open main draw for a second successive year as he fell in the first round of qualifying in Melbourne.
The 35-year-old struggled with his serve in a 6-1 6-2 defeat by Japan's Rei Sakamoto.
Former British number one Evans recorded four double faults and did not create a single break point in a 66-minute defeat.
Evans' sole Grand Slam appearance last year was at Wimbledon, where he was given a main draw wildcard.
