2011 French Open

After missing much of last year, she made a comeback at the Australian Open in January but suffered an embarrassing 6-0 6-0 defeat by Kim Clijsters in the opening round and soon after contemplated quitting.

A former top fifteen player, the Belgian dominated her opponent in the opening set. She slaughtered Niculescu by breaking her serve three times and saved both breakpoint faced with her amazing defensive skills. Wickmayer clobbered many unforced errors i.e. 13 to 10 and produced an equal first serve share of 70 percent, however, she converted three out of six breakpoint opportunities to her advantage to clinch with a bagel.

The 25-year-old, three times a losing grand slam finalist, suffered another setback on her return from a serious back injury when she abandoned her quarter-final against Victoria Azarenka at the Andalucia Tennis Championships last month.
