NEWS SUMMARY OF DAY FRENCH OPEN: KUZNETSOVA, JANCOVIC AND BERTENS ADVANCES

CAMILA GIORGI OUT IN FRENCH OPEN 2014

Svetlana Kuznetsova, the 2009 champion and a quarter-finalist last year, looks to be putting together another good run at Roland Garros. 
The No.27 seed traded breaks with Camila Giorgi in a close-fought first set, but was never headed in the second to take the match 7-6(5), 6-3. But last year’s Wimbledon semi-finalist Kirsten Flipkens went out. She faced the 98th-ranked Julia Glushko, who had fallen either in qualifying or the first round of all 11 tournaments she played this year ahead of Roland Garros 2014, saw off the No.21 seed 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. 
 Another casualty was the No.24 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who struggled all the way throughout her encounter with the qualifier Kiki Bertens. The No.24 seed was eventually forced to retire when trailing 0-3 in the third. The first result of day five came out on Court 17. Yanina Wickmayer, who disposed of the No.13 seed Caroline Wozniacki in the first round, was herself defeated by Silvia Soler-Espinosa. 
The Spaniard, ranked 85, was always in control of the match and beat the former US Open semi-finalist 6-2, 6-4 to take her place in the French Open third round for the first time.
