Ladies' action on Day 3 of the French Open produced one very unpleasant surprise: No. 9 Dinara Safina fell, 6-3, 4-6, 5-7, to Kimiko Date Krumm of Japan, who is 39 years old (that's older than Michael Chang) and winning matches in the French Open.
Other marquee women fared better in straight sets, with Justine Henin defeating Tzvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria 6-4, 6-3 and Maria Sharapova besting compatriot Ksenia Pervak 6-3, 6-2.
For the nationalists out there, American women advancing today included Jill Craybas over England's Katie O'Brien and Bethanie Mattek over countrywoman Vania King.
