Former French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova was the highest-profile female departee of the first day in Paris as the world number 41 was eliminated 6-7(7), 7-6(6), 6-2 by American 26th seed Hailey Baptiste.

She was joined in exiting Roland Garros by fellow former major winners Emma Raducanu and Sofia Kenin, who both lost their respective opening matches.

Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk earned her 12th consecutive win on clay as she eased past Oksana Selekhmeteva, who was born in Russia but obtained Spanish nationality four days ago, 6-2, 6-3.

The Madrid Open champion then revealed that her family home in Kyiv was nearly struck by a Russian missile during a massive bombardment of the Ukrainian capital earlier on Sunday.

"This morning, 100 metres from my parents' house, a missile fell," the 15th seed said on court.

"I'm obviously very happy to be in the second round. All my thoughts and all my heart were with the people of Ukraine today. My biggest example are Ukrainian people today."
