British number five James Ward has lost his first-round qualifying match at the French Open.
Ward, who has been handed a wild card for the Aegon Championships at the Queen's Club later this summer, went down 6-4 6-3 to Matteo Donati on Tuesday.
Italy's Donati is ranked 99 places below Ward, 29, who has struggled for form this year.
Ward's compatriot Brydan Klein will face Ukraine's Sergiy Stakhovsky in his first-round qualifier later on Tuesday.
