The Dane has been No. 1 in the WTA rankings for almost the entire season but never really challenged her Slovak opponent on Court Suzanne Lenglen, having her serve broken five times.

This is the first time in the Open era that the top two seeded women failed to make the round of 16 at a Grand Slam tournament. No. 2 Kim Clijsters lost Thursday.

Sam Stosur, last year's French Open runner-up, was also eliminated, but 2010 champion Francesca Schiavone advanced to the fourth round. On the men's side, 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer advanced.
