Bouchard, the 2014 winner, was replaced by Julia Glushko of Israel, who will play the second-seeded Yulia Putintseva.

Kiki Bertens opens her title defense against German wild card Katharina Gerlach on Tuesday, when the fourth-seeded Laura Siegemund is due to play another, Katharina Hobgarski.

The fifth-seeded Alison Riske of the U.S. was to take on Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium in the second round of the French Open warmup.
