Beaten on the comeback trail, Ajla Tomljanovic has headlined a dispiriting first-day wipeout for the Australian challenge at the French Open, admitting she has "a mountain to climb" because she's not the player she was.
Tomljanovic, playing just her second full match in four months after 18 months of injury and surgery setbacks, showed inevitable ring rust after a bright start against 30th seed Dayana Yastremska, eventually being the first of the 11 Australians in singles action at Roland Garros to bow out 3-6 6-3 6-3 on Sunday.
