11/11 Bartoli went beyond the 2nd round for the 1st time since 2008 in beating Oprandi 62 16 75, bouncing Wozniacki out of the top 10 for the first time in 3 1/2 years!
17/15 Safarova beat Wozniak 63 46 62
French WC Mladenovic beat (20/17) Pavlyuchenkova 61 62!
Britain's very own, Laura Robson, ranked 89, ended Kim Clijsters career, 76(4) 76(5), recovering from 2-5 down and 3 set points in the 1st set! Kim will now retire, her 22 match win streak at the US Open broken. Laura commanded the game with her forehand and played like a champion under pressure, having seen Clijsters save 3 match points before she finally did it. Good bye Kim! Li Na next!
