Former French Open Champion, No. 20 seed, Ana Ivanovic of Serbia was among the 1st round upsets as she was taken down by Johanna Larsson of Sweden 7-6(7-3), 0-6, 6-2.
Ivanovic struggled through a first close set, which she lost in the tie-break due to unforced errors and poor serving. However, she seemed to have found her form again rolling over Larsson 6-0 in the 2nd set playing top-notch tennis. In the third set, Ivanovic returned to lack-luster play, losing in one hour and 49 minutes when she netted a routine forehand.
Ivanovic won the French Open in 2008, but has struggled in Grand Slam tournaments since then. It was only the 2nd win for the 64th ranked Larsson in four Grand Slam appearances.
Larsson will next play No. 33 ranked Ekaterina Makarova of Russia.
