Daniil Medvedev is now 0-4 for his career at the French Open.
The runner-up at the U.S. Open last year and a semifinalist in New York last month failed yet again to win a match at Roland Garros.
The fourth-seeded Russian lost to 63rd-ranked Marton Fucsovics 6-4, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-1.
Medvedev was in a bad mood throughout, getting warned for an expletive, then being docked a point for smashing his racket in the second-set tiebreaker.
That point came at 6-3 in the tiebreaker, so he lost that set.
Fucsovics had been 0-14 against Top 10 opponents.
