Jack Draper was beaten by Dutch qualifier Jesper de Jong as the British campaign at the French Open got off to an inauspicious start.
Draper, 22, is 35th in the world but lost 7-5 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 3-6 6-3 to 176th-ranked De Jong on day one at Roland Garros.
The British number two struggled on serve and was broken nine times as De Jong punished him.
He made too many unforced errors and showed his frustrations after a double fault handed over a 5-3 fifth-set lead to De Jong, who served out for the biggest win of his career.
Draper was the first of six British players to step out on to the Roland Garros dirt, with Andy Murray being the second later on Sunday.
Murray makes his return to the tournament – having not played there since 2020 – when he plays fellow three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka in the night session on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Murray, 37, could be playing at Roland Garros for the final time, having indicated he is likely to retire later this year.
Four other Britons – Katie Boulter, Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and Harriet Dart – play their opening matches on Monday and Tuesday.
