Ana Ivanovic lost in the third round of the French Open, while American teen Sloane Stephens advanced on Friday.
Ivanovic fell to Sara Errani of Italy 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, and Stephens advanced to the fourth round by beating Mathilde Johansson of France 6-3, 6-2.
The 13th-seeded Ivanovic, a former top-ranked player who won the French Open title in 2008, committed 37 of her 40 unforced errors in the final two sets. Errani had only 18.
“In the third set I was creating a lot of opportunities and missing a lot of easy, easy finishing balls,” Ivanovic said. “That’s something that I’m not really happy about.”
Of the eight teenagers in this year’s draw, the 19-year-old Stephens was the only one to reach the third round.
Two days after eliminating Venus Williams from the French Open, third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska was routed by 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 6-2.
She didn’t look anything like the player who overwhelmed seven-time Grand Slam champion Williams in straight sets on Wednesday.
Radwanska has been having a stellar year on tour, winning three titles and moving up to a career-high No. 3 ranking last month. But she is the only player in the top 10 that has never reached a Grand Slam semifinal.
Radwanska dropped to 3-10 against the Russian, including her only two losses in tournament finals.
Before Friday’s match, Radwanska had been 38-7 in 2012, with six of those losses coming against top-ranked Victoria Azarenka.
Kuznetsova, who also won the U.S. Open in 2004, has struggled since winning the title at Roland Garros three years ago, only reaching one Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Sharapova’s easy win
Maria Sharapova won another easy match at the French Open on Friday, beating Ayumi Morita of Japan 6-1, 6-1.
The second-seeded Sharapova won her opening match 6-0, 6-0 on Tuesday.
The Russian has won three major titles in her career, but she still needs to win at Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam.
Last year, she lost in the semifinals at the French Open.
