PARIS — Fifth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark was knocked out of the French Open on Thursday after losing her second round match to Germany's Julia Goerges in straight sets.
Wozniacki, a former No. 1 and two-time finalist at the U.S. Open, has never advanced beyond the quarterfinals at the French and struggled throughout against the 72nd-ranked German.
Goerges advanced to the third round following a 6-4, 7-6 (4) win.
"I haven't beaten a top-10 player for a long time," Georges said. "I just told myself to be aggressive."
In the men's side of the draw, fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan became the first player to reach the second week of the tournament.
