Stosur bows out

There were mixed fortunes for last year’s finalists at the French Open today as Francesca Schiavone moved into the fourth round but Samantha Stosur was knocked out by Gisela Dulko.

Defending champion Schiavone was given a tough time by Peng Shuai in the first set but the Chinese 29th seed was clearly feeling unwell and, after having her blood pressure taken at the start of the second set, she retired in tears trailing 6-3 1-2.
