Simona Halep overcame a second-set blip as she kicked off her French Open title defence with a win over Ajla Tomljanovic to reach the second round.
The 27-year-old, seeded third for the tournament, eventually overcame a wobble in the second set to win 6-2 3-6 6-1 on Philippe-Chatrier.
The Romanian played some neat and tidy tennis in the opening set, before losing the plot in the second and then wrapped up the victory.
Halep seized control with an early break and tightened her grip in a one-sided first set, containing her opponent's power.
But Tomljanovic started to hit the ball harder and by the time Halep had started to figure out how to deal with her pace the Australian had taken the second set.
Experience, however, prevailed in the decider as Halep won six of the seven remaining games.
She will now face Magda Linette of Poland in the second round.
