Heather Watson was forced to pull out of her opening match at the Wuhan Open with a stomach bug just days after saying she had fully recovered from the problems which affected her US Open campaign.
The British number two withdrew down 3-6 1-2 against American Madison Brengle in China after complaining of dizziness.
"It came on this morning. I woke up in full sweats. I went out there to see how I feel but it wasn't great," said Watson, who also named John-Laffnie de Jager as her new coach on Monday.
Meanwhile, British number one Johanna Konta comfortably reached round two after beating German Annika Beck 6-1 6-2 and will play China's Zhang Shuai in the second round.
