One day after second-seeded Kim Clijsters’ second-round collapse knocked her out of the French Open 2011, the World No. 1 is out at Roland Garros: Caroline Wozniacki at least lost to a seeded player, but she did it in straight sets, falling 6-1 6-3 to No. 28 Daniela Hantuchova in morning third-round action on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
