Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova lost in the first round of the French Open today. She was coming off a three-month absence from the WTA Tour because of an injured right elbow. More:
Since the professional era began in 1968, Krejcikova is just the seventh reigning women's champion to be bounced in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament.
Against Parry, Krejcikova double-faulted on the match's very first point, then looked every bit someone ready to display her best tennis. The next 15 points in a row went Krejcikova's way as she raced to a 4-0 lead. "It's never easy to start on this kind of court against the defending champion,'' Parry said."You can get a bit tight, which happened in the first set. But then I managed to relax.''
After Krejcikova wrapped up that opening set, things turned around as Parry played more confidently. Krejcikova's mistakes mounted: By the end, she had accumulated 45 unforced errors, 19 in the third set alone. Parry finished with 26 in all.
