PARIS — 8:22 p.m.
Seeded players, for the most part, earned their crust by living up to expectations on Day 1 of the French Open. Just four of the 17 seeds — two men and two women — in action Sunday failed to advance to the second round.
The last to go out, as the evening light dims, is 26th-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, losing 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (1), 3-6, 6-3 to 56th-ranked Steve Johnson in the first five-set match at this year's tournament.
Earlier, Marcos Baghdatis put out 25th-seeded Ivo Karlovic in straight sets.
On the women's side, France's 31st-seeded Caroline Garcia and Peng Shuai, the 24th seed from China who retired injured in the second set against Polona Hercog, are packing their bags.
