Twenty years after winning the second of her two French titles, the 47-year-old American lost 6-1, 6-3 to 19-year-old Gisela Dulko of Argentina. Nine times Wimbledon singles champion Navratilova, playing before a packed crowd on Court One, dropped her serve in the opening game to allow Dulko to win the set in 25 minutes.
She broke serve to lead 3-2 in the second set but Dulko then won four games in a row to advance to the second round.
