Virginie Razzano: Player Ranked Outside Top 100 Who's Into Second Round of French Open 2012

























Virginie Razzano (ranked #111) pulled one of the biggest upsets in WTA history in this year's French Open when she defeated 13-time grand slam champion Serena Williams in the first round of a slam.  That has NEVER happened before to Serena!  On paper, Serena should've easily defeated the veteran Frenchwoman, but Razzano apparently had tenacity and gumption at her sleeve and held off oh-so-many matchpoints while she was cramping!!  I really thought Serena would eventually pull through, like she usually does but Virginie just won't let go!  

Because of this win, she got into the second round, even if she was ranked outside the top 100.  However, she lost to Arantxa Rus (ranked #88).
