It wasn't an easy day for some of the big names, but the top seeds advanced Thursday at the 2015 French Open. World No. 1 Serena Williams dropped the first set against qualifier Anna-Lena Friedsam before righting the ship en route to a 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 win. 

The early struggles had to have some thinking about Williams' second-round exit from last year's French Open, but the future Hall of Famer didn't lose her composure and took control of the match in the second set. She will have to clean up her game moving forward if she hopes to win her third French Open and 20th Grand Slam title.

She made a whopping 52 unforced errors in Thursday's match. Against a more experienced player, Williams might not have survived Thursday's scare.  



In a match that featured a little less drama, No. 1 Novak Djokovic handled Gilles Muller in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. Despite bad luck on plays like this one captured by the Roland Garros Twitter account, Djokovic powered past Muller.



Djokovic later took the light-hearted moment in stride as he acknowledged it via Twitter:



He's now won 24 straight matches and continues to solidify himself as the favorite to win his first French Open, which would complete the career Grand Slam for him. He's reached the final on two other occasions—including 2012 and 2014.

The results weren't as great for all of the seeded players.

Thursday's Upsets

Caroline Wozniacki Falls



In the biggest upset of the day, No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki fell to unseeded Julia Goerges 6-4, 7-6 (7-4). Wozniacki simply didn't get enough from her service game during the match. She won just 55 percent of her first-service points and had no aces during the match.
