French Open champion, Li Na, upset in first round of US Open

No. 6 seed and reigning French Open champion, Li Na of China, was disappointed early at the U.S. Open by No. 53 ranked Simona Halep of Romania. It was over in two quick sets, 6-2, 7-5.

Halep was playing in only her second U.S. Open. She lost last year in the first round. That makes this a very amazing win for the 19-year-old teenager over a veteran Grand Slam champion.

Halep played a much cleaner game, committing just 19 unforced errors, compared to Li’s 54.
