Francesca Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion, was also eliminated, losing to Kristina Mladenovic 6-2, 6-4. Canada's Eugenie Bouchard serves the ball to Germany's Laura Siegemund during their women's first round match at the Roland Garros 2016 French Tennis Open in Paris on May 24, 2016. In the women’s draw, Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber lost in the first round. Schiavone was surprised to receive a standing ovation after her loss and blamed French Open organizers for announcing she competed at Roland Garros for the last time of her career. “So Roland Garros announced my retirement, but I didn’t,” Schiavone said.
