Ranked 103rd in the world, Mladenovic played tough in winning the first set (7-5) and pulled off the major upset by a one-sided third set (6-1) over the second seed.

"I just tried to believe in myself and working really hard every day just to achieve and believe where she is and try one day to be up there," Mladenovic said via the French Open official website. “I had to be really calm and take my chances and being mentally strong ... it was such a nice feeling to have such a big win here in front of my crowd."

Meanwhile, in the men’s draw David Ferrer of Spain and Andy Murray of Great Britain took care of their opening day business to advance to the next round.
