2017 Jelena Ostapenko Over Simona Halep

2017 Ekaterina Makarova Over Angelique Kerber

1993 Stephane Huet Against Ivan Lendl

Losing to Huet was one of the reasons the great Ivan Lendl decided to retire in 1994. Lendl was the 7-seed and on the tail end of his career, but Huet had to qualify for the French Open, entered the tournament, ranked 297th in the world, and was a massive underdog in the first round match.

1983 Kathy Horvath over Martina Navratilova

Martina Navratilova was 86-1 in singles matches heading into the French Open. In the fourth round, Navratilova fell to Kathy Horvath, a 17 year old American. It was an amazing upset. Even more amazing because Horvath lost to an unseeded player 6-1, 6-1 in the next round.

Woodruff, the world’s 72nd ranked player, upset Andre Agassi, the 3-seed, in the second round. Woodruff required five sets to get it done. But he got it done. Agassi committed 63 unforced errors during the match. So it wasn’t all Woodruff.

1989 Michael Chang Against Ivan Lendl
