Paris - Anna Tatishvili, who was stripped of her entire €46 000 prize money at Roland Garros for "not playing at a professional standard", has had her punishment overturned, the player announced on Friday.
tweeted 29-year-old Georgia-born Tatishvili.
Tatishvili returned to competition at the French Open last month following a 31-month absence caused by a serious ankle injury and multiple surgeries.
Appearing in Paris with a protected ranking, she lost her first-round match to Greece's 33rd-ranked Maria Sakkari, 6-0, 6-1 in just 55 minutes.
Officials then stripped her of her prize money, claiming Tatishvili failed to play at a "professional standard".
Tatishvili appealed against "the unfair and discriminatory sanction", pointing out that a male player who competed in qualifying at the French Open, also under a protected ranking, lost in 43 minutes but was not sanctioned.
