PARIS (Reuters) - Caroline Wozniacki completed a hat-trick of first round exits on red clay this season as she became the third former world number one to fall in the first round of the French Open.

The 13th-seeded Dane suffered a spectacular collapse in a 0-6 6-3 6-3 defeat to Russia's Veronika Kudermetova on Court Philippe Chatrier on Monday, just 24 hours after Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams were also sent packing.
