Britain's miserable French Open was complete when Heather Watson joined her compatriots in losing in the opening round. Watson was an early break up in both sets in damp, cool conditions at Roland Garros but was unable to hold on to her advantage. That lack of victories perhaps played a part at the biggest moments, with Ferro winning more of the important points in what was a very close match. Watson had beaten the Frenchwoman twice in 2020 and moved into a 3-1 lead but back came Ferro and it was Watson who had to save three set points at 5-6. A tie-break was her reward but Watson paid the price for a series of errors and could not build on a 2-0 lead in the second set.
