The Aussie lost the point after not being able to move freely
After striking a forehand return, Kasatkina's earring caught her Adidas polo.
The Aussie was unable to free her ear in time to respond to Samsonova's next ball.
Not quite believing her luck, Russian star Samsonova watched her routine backhand trundle beyond the helpless Kasatkina.
This incident rather summed up Kasatkina's outing on No3 Court.

The former quarter-finalist here in SW19 was blitzed early on by Samsonova.
Kasatkina trailed 6-2 2-0 40-40 before both players were forced to go off by a rain delay.
At this point umpire Nico Helwerth was wheeled off the court, much to the amusement of fans.
If a break may have done Kasatkina some good following her bad start, it did not.
