Madison Brengle got off to a tough start before eventually falling to Tamara Zidanšek, 6-4, 6-1, in the second round of the French Open on Wednesday morning.

Zidanšek never trailed after winning the first five games of the match before advancing to the third round of the Grand Slam event.

Brengle, who was making only her second appearance in the second round of the French Open, won just one game the rest of the way. Zidanšek won the match in one hour and five minutes.

The 85th-ranked Zidanšek won five of six break points and hit 28 winners in the match. She next faces Katerina Siniaková in the third round.

The 31-year-old Brengle, who is ranked No. 84 in the world, is now 2-8 all-time in the French Open.
