Clijsters crashes out of French Open

Kim Clijsters blew two match points and lost 11 of the last 12 games as she crashed out of the French Open with a 3-6 7-5 6-1 defeat at the hands of Dutch outsider Arantxa Rus in the second round today.

The world number two was playing her first tournament after two months out with an ankle injury and looked understandably rusty in her first-round win over Anastasiya Yakimova.
