Several top players have seen their hopes of claiming the championship cut short, as the second week of the French Open begins. On the men’s and women’s sides of the Roland Garros draws, there has been a few upsets.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have cruised to the quarterfinals without dropping a single set, on the men’s side. In the final, the top two seeds of the tournament are expected to battle it out. The biggest upset so far was when Tomas Berdych eliminated number four seed Andy Murray in the fourth round in straight sets. However, at this year’s French Open, Murray’s first round five set victory was a sign of his fragility.

When when number seven seed Fernando Verdasco lost to fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro in four sets,it was another fourth round upset. On Nadal’s side of the draw, Verdasco was the only true threat. In the third round, American Andy Roddick lost to Gabashvilli in three sets. But this is not surprising considering that, at the French Open, Roddick has never made it past the fourth round.

As Justine Henin lost to Samantha Stosur in three sets, the women’s side has seen the biggest upset of the tournament. To win the title, Henin was a strong contender, as the French crowd was eager to see her win another Roland Garros after coming back from retirement. As the second week starts, the bottom draw is wide open as second seed Venus Williams was knocked out in the fourth round by Nadia Petrova. First seed Serena Williams has comfortably advanced to the second week of the 2010 French Open, besides a three set stumble in the third round.
