Although we are still getting through the first round of the 2014 French Open, there have been plenty of head-turning results in both the men's and women's draws.

The first two days featured upsets of Stanislas Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori, two top-10 players who have performed extremely well in 2014. While the men's tournament at Roland Garros has been considered a two-person race between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, both Wawrinka and Nishikori had the possibility to knock either out.

That will clearly not happen anymore, and Tuesday's action took out some other top contenders for a 2014 title. Here is a look at some notable results from Day 3 of the French Open followed by a breakdown of the most surprising scores of the day.



A complete list of results is available at RolandGarros.com.

 

Kristina Mladenovic def. No. 2 Li Na; 7-5, 3-6, 6-1



After Australian Open winner Wawrinka was defeated in the first round, the other winner in Melbourne suffered a similar fate, as Li Na went down in three sets to Kristina Mladenovic.

Li was the 2011 French Open winner and entered this year's event with plenty of confidence. However, she was incredibly sloppy in the match with 37 unforced errors with five double faults.

She explained after the match that her poor play would have led to a loss against anyone, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com):

Nobody say if you No. 2 in the world you have to win all the matches. I mean, this is tennis. I think doesn't matter who plays today against me; I always lose the match today because I don't think she...put a lot of pressure [on] me. I think today just I gave it away.

Despite this, Mladenovic deserves credit for keeping her composure and really working to get points on her own serve. She was not intimidated by the name and instead went out with confidence to earn the win.
