Coco Gauff and Venus Williams lost in the first round of the French Open women's doubles draw.
Gauff and Williams took the first set against Ellen Perez and Saisai Zheng but couldn't build on that. Perez and Zheng rebounded to win 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-3.
ESPN.com's D'Arcy Maine noted this was Gauff and Williams' first match as a team, with Williams filling in for an injured Caty McNally.
Thanks to a service break, the American duo jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first set. Perez and Zheng held on the next game before breaking back. The same story played out in the tiebreak as Gauff and Williams gained the upper hand and went up 6-2 before their opponents fought back and made things difficult.
