    She has been ousted by unheralded Elisabetta Cocciaretto in straight sets, her first opening round grand slam defeat since the 2020 French Open.

    In the men's draw, top seed Jannik Sinner won in straight sets as he bids for a maiden title.

    Novak Djokovic is one set to love up against Alexandre Muller.
