Evans fell to Holger Rune in straight sets before Boulter suffered late-night heartbreak against Paula Badosa.
Dan Evans and Katie Boulter were both beaten in the first round of the French Open to complete a total British wipeout.
The British number three had a furious row with umpire Jaume Campistol after the Spanish official had two lengthy discussions with the young Dane in the third set. “One second he has a conversation the game before because he’s hit his racket. I don’t care if he wants a conversation on his serve – but it’s not really a conversation about the other one.
“But anyway, that’s not the reason I lost. That’s just part of the issue, part of the problem, but he’ll be back in work again tomorrow.” But was Rune who was homing in on victory to condemn Evans to a sixth first-round defeat in seven visits to Paris.
