Fifth seed Jessica Pegula’s French Open struggles continued when she fell to a 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 defeat to Australian Kimberly Birrell in the first round, becoming the biggest casualty in the women’s draw on Tuesday.
Pegula, who has never made it past the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, has now exited the claycourt major in the first round for the third time.
After a blazing start, Pegula lost her composure as unforced errors crept into her game, which allowed world number 83 Birrell to take control and reach at least the second round of a Grand Slam for the third time.
She will next face Ukraine’s Oleksandra Oliynykova.
