Wimbledon: French Open Champion No. 5 Francesca Schiavone Loses In First Round
Schiavone has not won a match since winning the French Open, also losing her first round match last week in Eastbourne.
After Schiavone totally unexpected run to the French Open title, this sort of let down had to be expected, even with her fairly decent grass court results.
Schiavone becomes the first reigning French Open champion to lose in the first round of Wimbledon since Justine Henin-Hardenne in 2005.
