Briton Tara Moore was beaten in her opening qualifying match at the French Open on Wednesday.
The British number four went down 6-2 7-5 to the higher-ranked Kai-Chen Chang, of Chinese Taipei.
The result was no real surprise with Moore preferring the grasscourts and Chang being the sixth seed for the qualifying event in Paris.
Moore's second serve came under particular attack and she managed to win only 25 per cent of the points behind it.
Hong Kong-born Moore lost the opening three games on her way to surrendering the first set in just over half an hour.
She rallied to take a 3-0 lead in the second before Chang battled back to secure victory on her fourth match point.
The 24-year-old Moore, currently suitting at a career-high ranked of 145 following a good year on the ITF Pro Circuit, will now focus on the grasscourt season.
British interest in the Paris qualifying event is now solely focused on Heather Watson - the only one of four Britons to make it through the first round.
Watson faces Czech Tereza Smitkova in the second round on Thursday.
