Third seed Jessica Pegula became the highest-ranked women's casualty so far at the French Open, falling in the third round to Elise Mertens.
American Pegula had lost both her previous meetings with Mertens and this was a one-sided affair, the Belgian 28th seed triumphing 6-1 6-3 on Philippe Chatrier.
Pegula's preparations were hampered by food poisoning, which may have contributed to her failing to reach the quarter-finals for only the second time in six Grand Slams.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the 2021 runner-up, got off to a slow start before finishing strong to down 24th seed Anastasia Potapova 4-6 6-3 6-0 to book a clash with Mertens.
Former French Open quarter-finalist Elina Svitolina moved into the Roland Garros fourth round with a determined performance to stave off Anna Blinkova and claim a 2-6 6-2 7-5 victory.
Svitolina returned to the WTA Tour at the Charleston Open in April following the birth of her daughter Skai with husband and fellow tennis player Gael Monfils, and bagged her first title in two years by beating Blinkova in last week's Strasbourg final.
Ukrainian Svitolina did not shake hands with her Russian opponent at the end amid more booing from the crowd on Simonne Mathieu. The 28-year-old gave a thumbs-up and exchanged a few words with Blinkova, but did not offer her hand.
