Top seed Svetlana Kuznetsova crashed out of Miami with a 6-3, 6-0 loss to Marion Bartoli. Kuznetsova complained of a right shoulder injury, which she said sustained in her first match of the tournament.
“Today was really bad,” the 2009 Roland Garros champion said. “At 5-3 I started to serve and I felt like a pull. But I still kept serving. I almost had stars in my eyes it was so painful. I called physio and tried to continue to play. I think I should have pulled out earlier. I mean, it's impossible. I cannot return. Then I cannot serve.”
