Day 6 at the 2012 French Open provided us with some surprising scores that we didn't see coming.

The third-ranked player on the women's draw, Agnieszka Radwanska, was unceremoniously ousted without putting up much of a fight. 

She wasn't the only top seed to get their booties handed to them today, either. The hot clay at Roland Garros can be cruel and unforgiving to players who aren't at the top of their game.

Andreas Seppi (22) Defeated Fernando Verdasco (14) 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2

This match on the men's side was a battle of attrition, as the five-set match t...
