Stop me if you've heard this one before—several top players in the women's draw of the French Open were knocked out of the tournament. 

It's a sentence that could be written on pretty much any day of the event. It just so happens it applied once more at Roland Garros on Saturday.

Ivanovic talked about her struggles against Lucie Safarova, whom she's now lost to in five straight matches:



Kvitova, meanwhile, just can't seem to rediscover the magic she had in 2011, when she won Wimbledon and six singles titles overall. Back then, we thought a star was emerging. But she's won just four titles since and hasn't won another Grand Slam, although she did reach two semifinals in 2012. 

But with the top players dropping in front of her, this seemed a golden opportunity to make a deep run in France. It wasn't to be.

 

Top Men Advance; Andy Murray's Match Delayed, Tied 7-7 in 5th Set



While Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer advanced to Round 4 without much incident, No. 7 Andy Murray found himself in an absolute battle with No. 28 Philipp Kohlschreiber (and let's be honest, he also found himself in a battle with the Roland Garros surface he so struggles with).
