PARIS (AP) The Latest on the French Open (all times local):

2 p.m.

Johanna Konta got off to a flying start and then faded away as she bowed out of the French Open in the first round – for the third year in a row.

The seventh-seeded British player lost to 109th-ranked Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4.

Konta has never won a main-draw match at Roland Garros.

On Tuesday, she won 13 of the 15 first points on Court Philippe Chatrier but was unable to keep the same level throughout, ending with a total of 38 unforced errors.
