Ajla Tomljanovic suffered a first-round exit at Roland-Garros despite taking the first set against her seeded opponent. She was one of 11 Australians who started in the draw.
Ajla Tomljanovic will turn her attention to trying to launch another deep Wimbledon run after letting slip a match-winning advantage in a tough first-round loss at Roland-Garros.
Eight other Aussies, led by 11th-seeded Alex de Minaur, will begin their Roland-Garros campaign across the next two days. Thanasi Kokkinakis was the sole Australian to make it beyond the second round last year, and drew countryman Alexei Popyrin in his 2024 opener.It was not the first time Yastremska reversed her fortunes mid-match against Tomljanovic, having rallied from 5-2 down in the final set to beat the Australian in the Thailand Open final five years ago.
That was as close as Tomljanovic came to wresting back control. The world No.202 dropped serve again from 40-0 in the second game of the third set, and spent the rest of the contest playing catch up.
