Schiavone shocks Wozniacki
World number three Caroline Wozniacki was sent crashing out of the French Open quarter-finals after a stunning display by Italian Francesca Schiavone.
The 19-year-old Dane was broken three times as the 17th seed powered her way through the first set and her dominance continued at the start of the next.
Wozniacki battled back to 3-3 but the 29-year-old soon secured a 6-2 6-3 win.
Schiavone faces Elena Dementieva for a spot in the final after the fifth seed beat Russian Nadia Petrova 2-6 6-2 6-0.
Fifth seed Dementieva progressed after an error-strewn match as both players struggled with leg injuries picked up earlier in the tournament.

The tie lasted two hours six minutes, which included delays for medical time-outs and decisions over the rain, but it was Petrova, who brushed Venus Williams aside in the previous round, that began in sprightly fashion, taking the opening set.
Dementieva, seeking her first major Grand Slam win at the 46th time of asking, finally settled and cruised to take the next two sets with her compatriot clearly struggling with a thigh injury.
Apart from a brief wobble when leading 3-1 lead in the second set, Schiavone's victory was never in doubt as she progressed to her first semi-final in a Grand Slam.
Schiavone, who broke serve six times, won 13 of 16 points at the net and produced 25 winners to her opponent's 10, said: "It's an honour for me to play here. I played really well. I'm enjoying it so much.
"I have been doing this job all of my life. It's a very special emotion to reach the semi-finals especially when you work hard every morning, every afternoon."
Wozniacki, the tournament's youngest quarter-finalist and playing in her second Grand Slam quarter-final, said: "She played well just as she has done throughout the whole tournament.
"She plays differently. She mixes up the balls a lot. She didn't play typical women's tennis."

606: DEBATE
Shades Of Red
|
The Italian, playing in her second Roland Garros quarter-final nine years after her first, promised to "fight and run for three hours" if necessary and she didn't disappoint, taking just 38 minutes to win the first set.
Wozniacki, runner-up at the US Open last summer, was pushed to all corners of the court with Schiavone benefiting from a more positive and aggressive approach.
A double fault at 5-2 handed Schiavone a set point and the Italian duly obliged with a cute drop shot, followed up by a crushing cross-court winner.
After a slow start in the second set, the Danish teenager at last showed signs of life to break back and trail 1-2 but then lost her serve for the fifth consecutive time.
The fightback was all too brief and despite the damp conditions, Schiavone continued to dazzle with power and deftness at the net when required and broke again in game eight before serving out the match.
She collapsed and kissed the clay after becoming the first Italian woman since 1954 to reach a Grand Slam singles semi-final.
In the remaining quarter-finals, world number one Serena Williams faces Australian Sam Stosur AUS, while fourth seed Jelena Jankovic takes on Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova.
