(Source: Reuters)Jelena Ostapenko became only the sixth female Grand Slam champion to lose in the opening round of their title defence on Sunday when she lost to Kateryna Kozlova at the French Open. Not since Anastasia Myskina lost in the opening round of the 2005 tournament has the French Open lost its women’s champion so early. Ostapenko’s eyes searched the coach’s box at every opportunity, but could find no answers as she checked out early.
