Potential women’s quarterfinals include No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki against 2010 runner-up Sam Stosur, four-time major champion Kim Clijsters against three-time major winner Maria Sharapova, No. 3 Vera Zvonareva against Schiavone, and No. 4 Victoria Azarenka against No. 6 Li Na.
Clijsters is at the French Open for the first time since 2006. Her first-round opponent is 100th-ranked Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus. Wozniacki opens against 40-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan.
According to the WTA, this is the first time in the Open era _ which began in 1968 _ that there are no American women seeded at the French Open.
