PARIS (Reuters) - Kristina Mladenovic was dumped out of the French Open in the second round with a 6-2 6-1 defeat to Petra Martic on Wednesday, leaving Caroline Garcia as the only French woman who can reach the third round at Roland Garros.

Should she make it through, it will be the third time in the last 10 years that only one French woman has reached that stage -- a statistic that prompted a reporter to ask Mladenovic, a quarter-finalist here in 2017, about the strength of the current generation of players.
