Li fails, Maria sails

Agencies, Paris
Defending champion Li Na of China crashed out of the French Open on Monday, losing 3-6,6-2,6-0 to unseeded Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan in the fourth round and dashing Asia's hopes of a second Grand Slam title.
Shvedova, the world number 142, will play either Varvara Lepchenko of the United States or fourth seed Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic for a place in the semifinals and is the last qualifier standing at Roland Garros.
Li, the 30-year-old world number seven and a superstar in her homeland, was attempting to be the first French Open women's champion to successfully defend the title since Justine Henin in 2007.
But Li found it tough to cope with the cold and breezy conditions at Suzanne Lenglen court and a 24-year-old opponent with nothing to lose.
After a confident start, Li had a spectacular meltdown in the second set and never recovered, notching 41 errors and ending up broken seven times.
Li, the second biggest earner in
women's sport next to Maria Sharapova thanks to China's massive market, was the first Asian to win a singles title in a major and her victory at Roland Garros last year encouraged many Chinese girls to take up tennis.
Shvedova had also made it to the Roland Garros quarterfinals in 2010, her first time in a Grand Slam last eight.
Maria Sharapova struggled into the quarterfinals on Monday, defeating Czech veteran Klara Zakopalova 6-4,6-7 (5/7), 6-2 in an error-scarred clash which featured 21 breaks of serve.
The Russian second seed, seeking a Roland Garros title to complete a career Grand Slam, goes on to face either Estonian 23rd seed Kaia Kanepi or Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands for a place in the semifinals.
But she will be hoping for an improvement in conditions in Wednesday's quarterfinal after a stiff wind and bitter cold, which saw temperatures dip to a chilly 14 degrees, played havoc with her game, temper and movement.
The statistics of Monday's match on Philippe Chatrier court told a grim tale.
Sharapova finished with 53 unforced errors to her opponent's 48 and served up 12 double faults against seven.
With serve constantly under siege,
Sharapova carved out 31 break points in total, converting 12.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga followed up a long night of worrying with a short day of tennis.
In the end, everything turned out OK for France's favourite player.
The No. 5 seed returned to Roland Garros on Monday and finished off a five-set victory over No. 18 Stanislas Wawrinka, quickly dropping a service break but rebounding to win the last two games of a match that was suspended by darkness the night before.
Tsonga led 4-2 in the fifth when play resumed and won 6-4, 7-6 (6), 3-6,3-6, 6-4 to advance to the French Open quarterfinals, with a meeting against No. 1 Novak Djokovic up next.
Other winners Monday included 12th-seeded Nicolas Almagro, who defeated No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia 6-4,6-4,6-4. Another Spaniard, sixth-seeded David Ferrer, wiped out No. 20 Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-2, 6-0. Ferrer has dropped only 25 games en route to the quarterfinals.
Like Tsonga, Juan Martin del Potro returned to finish his match Monday. The No. 9 seed won the fourth set to close out a victory over No. 7 Tomas Berdych, 7-6 (6), 1-6,6-3,7-5.
