Clara Tauson came close, but the Danish tennis star crashed out of the French Open in the first round after losing 6-3, 5-7, 2-6 to Ukrainian Daria Snigur.
In the second set, the Dane was at one point just two points away from advancing to the second round. But instead, Snigur fought back, won the set 7-5, and forced the match into a third and decisive set where the Ukrainian had the upper hand.
Towards the end of the set, Tauson seemed to be physically affected by the back problems that have troubled her throughout the season. When she fell behind 1-4, she said, "I can't move" in frustration to her coaching team, and the Dane went on to lose the third set clearly 2-6.
Tauson is currently ranked No. 21 in the world, while Daria Snigur is No. 95 in the world.
