Andy Murray and Johanna Konta are the only Britons left in the Australian Open after Dan Evans and Aljaz Bedene were both knocked out in the first round on Tuesday.
A day after Heather Watson and Kyle Edmund had been eliminated at the same stage, Evans' first appearance at the season's opening Grand Slam ended in a 6-1 6-0 6-4 thrashing at the hands of Spain's Feliciano Lopez.
Evans, 25, had to come through three rounds of qualifying to take his place in the main draw, but that is where his fun ended as the 18th seed put the Brit to the sword, winning in just 88 minutes.
Evans could not cope with Lopez's imperious serve in a 24-minute first set, where the Spaniard won all 12 of his first-serve points, while he also tucked into Evans' serve, breaking twice in the fourth and six games.
The second set was a familiar tale, this time Lopez taking it to love, sending down 10 winners and committing just two unforced errors as Evans could simply not cope with his opponent.
Evans made a better fist of the final set and held his first four service games, but a comeback was never on the cards.
He could not get into Lopez's serve, not even managing to get to deuce, and when Lopez broke him to go 5-4 it was game over as he served it out for the match.
Lopez will now face either Steve Darcis or Guido Pella in the second round.
Meanwhile, British No 2 Bedene was beaten 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3) by American Steve Johnson.
