Russia’s Svetlana Kuznetsova failed to live up to the standard of her French Open third-round thrashing of Agnieszka Radwanska as she slumped to a straight-sets loss to Italy’s Sara Errani on Sunday.

Kuznetsova, the 2009 champion at Roland Garros, was routed in the first set but served for the second a 5-4 up before Errani broke back to seal a 6-0, 7-5 win to book her place in the quarterfinals.

The defeat was the first time that Kuznetsova had lost to 21st seed Errani in six meetings.

For the Italian, it was the second match in a row that she scalped a former French Open champion, after ousting Ana Ivanovic in the third round.

Errani’s opponent at the quarterfinal stage will be German 10th seed Angelique Kerber, who beat Petra Martic of Croatia 6-3, 7-5 in the last 16.
