Only three seeds fell on day one of the French Open, but there were still plenty of shocks as Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka both made complaints about the organisers at Roland Garros.
The Swiss pair both hit out at the Grand Slam officials in their post-match press conferences on Sunday.
Second-seed Federer was upset after a fan accosted him on court following his first-round win over Alejandro Falla 6-3 6-3 6-4.
The youngster jumped on to Court Philippe Chatrier and put his hand across Federer's shoulder to try and get a selfie with the 17-time Grand Slam champion in a worrying breach of security at Roland Garros.
"I'm not happy about it. Obviously not one second I'm happy about it," Federer said, adding that he had received an apology from tournament director Gilbert Ysern.
Meanwhile, compatriot Wawrinka expressed his anger at a match preview article published to the official Roland Garros website that discussed the effects of his private life on recent form.
"Completely stupid article. It's the official website of a Grand Slam, so I hope the guy who did that article is not a journalist," the eighth-seeded Swiss told waiting reporters after beating Turkey's Marsel Ilhan 6-3 6-2 6-3 in the first round on Sunday.
"I also hope the guy who is supposed to check all the articles on the website is not working anymore for the tournament, because for me, for a Grand Slam website, it should be an article about the tennis and that's it."
Kei safely through
Fifth-seed Kei Nishikori reached the tournament’s second round with a confident 6-3 7-5 6-1 win over France's Paul-Henri Mathieu.
Nishikori faces either Australia's Marinko Matosevic or Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil for a place in the last 32.
Meanwhile, home-favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga delighted the French fans with a 6-1 6-2 6-2 victory over Sweden's Christian Lindell.
Ivo Karlovic is the first seeded man to exit the competition in the French capital. The big server, seeded 25th, hit 21 aces in losing 7-6 (5) 6-4 6-4 to Marcos Baghdatis.
Baghdatis, runner-up at the 2006 Australian Open, next plays Damir Dzumhir in the second round.
Ernests Gulbis, the 24th-seed from Latvia who knocked Federer out in the fourth round last year on his way to the semi-finals, defeated Dutchman Igor Sijsling 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7/3) for only his third win all year.
Romania's Simona Halep, the 2014 runner-up and third seed, saw off Russian world number 91 Evgeniya Rodina 7-5, 6-4 and next faces Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, the Croatian player who knocked her out of the US Open last year.
Ninth-seed Ekaterina Makarova, of Russia, breezed past US wildcard Louisa Chirico 6-4 6-2, while 21st-seed Garbine Muguruza, the Spaniard who shocked Serena Williams in the second round last year, beat Croatian qualifier Petra Martic 6-2, 7-5.
Croatian 18-year-old Donna Vekic, coached by 1997 champion Iva Majoli, put out 31st seed Caroline Garcia, of France, 3-6 6-3 6-2 for her first win at the tournament.
Seventh-seed Ana Ivanovic, of Serbia came from a set behind to beat Yaroslava Shvedova, of Kazakhstan, 4-6 6-2 6-0.
Did you know?
Out on Court 2, Phillip Kohlschreiber, seeded 22nd, tore through his game against Japan's Go Soeda, winning 6-1 6-0 6-2. Kohlschreiber, aged 31, and Soeda, 30, are among 39 men aged 30 or over in the Roland Garros main draw. That is a Grand Slam record.
Brit watch
None of the five Brits in the draw - Andy Murray, Alijaz Bedene, Kyle Edmund, Heather Watson or Johana Konta - were in action on day one, but Murray did take to the court for a practice session. He was joined by coach Amelie Mauresmo and Bulgarian superstar Grigor Dimitrov for the hitting session.
All of the British players will take to the court on Monday for their first-round matches.
And finally...
Happy Birthday to enigmatic Italian player Fabio Fognini, who turned 28 on Sunday. Fognini will play Japan's Tatsuma Ito in his opening-round match on Monday.
