Raducanu recorded 15 unforced errors and zero winners in the opening set, which she lost without winning a game.
She fought back from a 4-1 deficit in the second set to force a tie-break, but ultimately lost after committing 42 total unforced errors.
This was the 23-year-old's first opening-round loss at Roland Garros.
“It was difficult,” Raducanu said.
“I don’t think I’ve fully processed it yet, so it’s hard to speak about the match right now.”
The former US Open champion acknowledged her late fightback but expressed disappointment.
“But I have to at least take the fact that, from a set and 4-1 down, I came back and made it competitive in the second set.
I’m pretty disappointed. Obviously, I wanted to do better,” she said.
Raducanu cited lively court conditions and a lack of competitive matches as factors.

“I went on the court, I felt like the conditions were extremely lively and I felt like I wasn’t able to trust my shots and didn’t feel like I had control over the ball.
I think probably just a bit light on matches, a bit light on confidence coming into the tournament,” she added.
