PARIS (AP) Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knocked out the highest seeded player remaining in the women's draw at the French Open, beating No. 3 Vera Zvonareva 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 Sunday to earn a spot in the quarterfinals.
Pavlyuchenkova, at 19 the youngest player still in the tournament, won the final five games.
The third-seeded Zvonareva followed No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and No. 2 Kim Clijsters out of the tournament. They both lost in the third round. Fourth-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus is now the highest seeded player left.
It's the first time none of the top three seeded women reached the quarterfinals at the French Open in the Open era, which began in 1968.
Zvonareva reached the Wimbledon and U.S. Open finals last year and the Australian Open semifinals in January.
