PARIS — Anabel Medina Garrigues guided Jelena Ostapenko through a fairy-tale run to the French Open title last year. She is back at Roland Garros this year hoping to find a happy ending for herself.
Medina Garrigues, who ended her coaching relationship with Ostapenko in October, entered the women’s doubles and mixed doubles events at the French Open, three weeks after beginning her comeback in Madrid.
On Wednesday, she and Arantxa Parra Santonja won their opening-round match in 2 hours 22 minutes, beating Johanna Konta and Alison Riske, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3). On Thursday with Marcel Granollers, Medina Garrigues lost in the first round of the mixed doubles event, 6-2, 6-2, against Kristina Mladenovic and Alexis Musialek.
