Defending champion Ana Ivanovic crashed out of French Open, losing to Belarus teenager Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 6-3 in the fourth round on Sunday.
The eighth-seeded Serb joined the likes of Venus Williams, Novak Djokovic and Elena Dementieva to become another big casualty at this year's Roland Garros so far.
Ivanovic, who has been struggling with a right knee injury and was played with black tape over the area, called for a trainer to look at her neck before the final game of the first set.
Azarenka then held to take the lead, and broke Ivanovic's serve in the first and third games of the second set to take a 4-0 lead.
The 21-year-old Ivanovic won her only Grand Slam tournament title at last year's French Open.
