The top seed lost 6-2, 6-2 in the second round to the world number 35 with her defeat coming just an hour after sister Venus also went out 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 to Slovak teenager Anna Schmiedlova.

It was the earliest exit for a defending champion at Roland Garros since 2005 when Anastasia Myskina of Russia went out in the first round.

Muguruza immediately won praise for her performance.

"Shocker at the French - Serena loses to Garbine Muguruza. Garbine is here to stay, that's for sure, quite a talent," tweeted Martina Navratilova.

In the previous match, defeat for Venus, the 29th seed, meant she has now failed to get beyond the second round in Paris on her last three visits.

"I have big respect for her. She's a great player and I still cannot believe I won," said Schmiedlova who was just a month old when the American made her professional debut back in 1994.
