Daniil Medvedev lost in the first round of the French Open for the seventh time in his career as the former world No 1’s difficult relationship with Roland Garros continued in a five-set defeat to Australian wildcard Adam Walton.
Medvedev, the sixth seed, lost the final four games of a rollercoaster first-round match and capitulated on serve to lose the last game to love, with Walton winning 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 in three hours and 22 minutes.
