PARIS (AP) Kim Clijsters wasted two match points and was eliminated from the French Open on Thursday, losing to Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the second round.
Clijsters, who had won her last 15 Grand Slam matches after taking the titles at last year's U.S. Open and this year's Australian Open, failed to convert either match point in the second set.
The two-time French Open runner-up played with her right ankle taped. She injured the ankle while dancing at her cousin's wedding in April, forcing her to miss the rest of the clay-court season.
