Second seeded Chinese ace Li Na suffered a shock first-round defeat at the hands of France's Kristina Mladenovic at the French Open Tuesday.

Li Na, who won the Roland Garros crown in 2011 and the Australian Open this year, made more than 30 unforced errors in a 7-5 3-6 6-1 defeat.

21-year old Kristina Mladenovic, currently ranked 103rd in the world, has taken the first set off her, winning 7-5.

Though Li Na came back strongly at the second set with 6-3, she lost the third set quickly with 1-6.

The only other time Li Na took on Mladenovic was at the French Open 4-years ago, when Li Na won 7-5, 6-3.
