A day of madness on the women's side of the draw Monday at the 2015 French Open got marginally saved by a slew of convincing performances from the elite men's contenders who graced the Day 9 slate.

The shocking results came early, with second-seeded defending champion Maria Sharapova ousted in straight sets by No. 13 Lucie Safarova. No. 4 Petra Kvitova joined her later in the afternoon by dropping a three-set match to Timea Bacsinszky, while top-seeded Serena Williams had to overcome a first-set letdown for the third-straight match before taking down Sloane Stephens.
