Defending champion Ana Ivanovic was most certainly not herself Sunday at the French Open. The exact cause remains a bit of a mystery.
Ivanovic was eliminated at Roland Garros in the fourth round, losing to ninth-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 6-2, 6-3.
"I started really well, and I felt really good in the beginning," said the eighth-seeded Ivanovic, who won her only Grand Slam title at last year's French Open. "In the fourth game, I just suddenly Started Feeling so dizzy, and I completely lost my balance.
"Ever since then it was really hard. I struggled with looking up. I started feeling very dizzy, and I was struggling a little bit to find my balance."
It soon got even worse for the former No. 1-ranked player. She called for a trainer to look at her neck before the final game of the first set, but it still was unclear what the problem was. Azarenka then held in the next game to win the set, and broke Ivanovic's serve in the first and third games of the second to take a 4-0 lead.
