Ninth seed Emma Navarro exited the French Open in just 57 minutes as she suffered a 6-0, 6-1 first-round thrashing by Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
Navarro, a semi-finalist at last year’s US Open, did not hold serve all match in a wayward performance on the second day in Paris.
Meanwhile, Emma Raducanu battled through illness to win on her French Open return and set up a second-round meeting with defending champion Iga Swiatek.
The British number two earned a 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 victory against China’s Wang Xinyu, despite needing to see the doctor on court towards the end of the first set.
Raducanu, ranked 41st in the world, is making only her second appearance at Roland Garros after missing the past two tournaments with injury.
