Former French Open title holder Ana Ivanovic was knocked out of the third round at Roland Garros as 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova got past fifth seed Petra Kvitova.
The 11th-seeded Ivanovic, a former top-ranked player, was beaten 6-3, 6-3 by Czech Lucie Safarova on the Court Suzanne Lenglen. Ivanovic, the only player to have defeated top-ranked Serena Williams and former winner Maria Sharapova this season, won Roland Garros in 2008.
Ivanovic had been a 8-1 shot at U.K. bookmaker William Hill Plc after the top three seeds in the women's tournament all lost early.
