British number one Dan Evans is still waiting for his first win in the French Open main draw after losing to Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic on day one in Paris.
Evans, 31, had enjoyed his best season on clay going into the Grand Slam, but fell to a 1-6 6-3 6-3 6-4 defeat.
The 25th seed started confidently, but his level dipped as world number 48 Kecmanovic turned the match around.
Evans struggled on serve in the final two sets, winning two of his last 10 service games as the Serb progressed.
Britain’s three other representatives in the singles – Johanna Konta, Cameron Norrie and Heather Watson – play their first-round matches on Monday.
