Defending champ Krejcikova loses in 1st round of French Open

PARIS (AP) — Barbora Krejcikova has become only the third defending women’s champion to lose in the first round of the French Open. Krejcikova is a Czech player who was seeded second at Roland Garros. She lost to 97th-ranked Diane Parry 1-6, 6-2, 6-3. It was Krejcikova’s first match since February because of an injured right elbow. The only other two women to lose in the first round a year after winning the title at Roland Garros were Anastasia Myskina in 2005 and Jelena Ostapenko in 2018.
