Mauresmo out of French Open

Amelie Mauresmo became the highest-profile casualty of this year’s French Open when she was dumped out of her home tournament by Lucie Safarova in straight sets today.

Mauresmo, seeded fifth, imploded in both sets as she lost 6-3 7-6 (7/3) to the blossoming 25th seed, who hails from the Czech Republic, in the third round.
