| Defending Champion Li [Top] was ousted by 142 ranked Shvedova in the Roland Garros fourth round Monday |
Although seventh seeded Li had won the first set 6-3, Shvedova hit back furiously and won the match 3-6 6-2 6-0. The last set was complete debacle for Li as she failed to win even a single game.
Now with Serena and Azarenka out, Sharapova can be a hopeful contender for the final or even winning the championship to complete her lifetime Grand Slam.
