Virginie Razzano retires to send Carla Suarez Navarro through

Spanish eighth seed Carla Suarez Navarro was given a simple path into the third round of the French Open this evening as Virginie Razzano retired early in the second set of their second-round encounter.

French wildcard Razzano, the world number 182, got off to a perfect start on the showpiece Philippe Chatrier court at Roland Garros by breaking Suarez Navarro in the opening game.

However, Suarez Navarro hit straight back and broke again to lead 5-3 before serving out the first set.

Razzano called for the trainer during the break between sets and, after being broken in the first game of the second, called it a day.

Suarez Navarro will face 28th-seed Flavia Pennetta in the third round.
