Former world No1 Caroline Wozniacki joined the exodus of women’s seeds at the French Open on Thursday when the Dane was bundled out in the second round by Germany’s Julia Görges.
Wozniacki, seeded five, joined Romanian third seed Simona Halep, last year’s runner-up, and number six Eugenie Bouchard of Canada, after a 6-4, 7-6(4) defeat on a blustery Phillipe Chatrier court.
Görges, who has fallen to 72 in the rankings after rising into the top 20 in 2012, battled back from a break behind to clinch the opening set and then broke Wozniacki’s serve at 5-5 in the second, only to falter when serving for the match.
