French Open 2015: Twitter Reacts to Thursday's Bracket Results, Scores, Winners

Novak Djokovic had no trouble moving on. Neither did Rafael Nadal. On the men's side of the bracket, the 2015 French Open remains relatively uncomplicated.    

On the women's side, the pressure heated up Thursday, as one top-ranked player was bounced in unceremonious fashion and another needed to bounce back from an opening-set deficit to win.

Fifth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki completed her second straight disappointing Grand Slam of 2015, losing to German Julia Goerges in straight sets. Goerges controlled the pace of the match throughout, pelting 39 winners and three aces while aggressively crashing the net. Her 6-4, 7-6 (4) triumph marks Wozniacki's fifth straight year someone knocked her out at Roland Garros before the quarters.

"I play a little bit more spin, a little bit higher the ball over the net than some of the other girls," Goerges said of her play on clay, per Jim Caple of ESPNW. "If she gets the ball in her striking zone, she doesn't miss any, but if you give her different balls, then it's tougher for her to manage to bring the ball back with good quality."

Wozniacki commented on her loss on Twitter:

Top-seeded Serena Williams, meanwhile, came dangerously close to being eliminated in her second-round matchup with Anna-Lena Friedsam. Williams dropped the first set 5-7 before rallying in the final two sets, taking each 6-3. The world No. 2 double-faulted eight times and made 52 unforced errors in perhaps her ugliest match of the year.

"I definitely don't think it could go worse than that," Williams said, per Caple. "I'm just happy I was able to get through that, because I have played some horrible matches and lost them. I honestly thought for a second I wasn't sure I could win today because the level I played was not professional.''

Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times highlighted her first-set frustrations:

Howard Bryant of ESPN provided an explanation for Williams' struggles:

Also needing a late comeback to advance was fourth-seeded Petra Kvitova, who was tested by Spaniard Silvia Soler Espinosa. Espinosa earned a tiebreaker win in the first set before Kvitova advanced with a 6-4 second and 6-2 third. Kvitova was able to convert on just six of her 20 break-point opportunities in the win.

Rothenberg highlighted what that means for the women's field:

Overall, three of the top six seeds and seven of the top 20 have been bounced heading into the third round. Twelfth-seeded Karolina Pliskova and 18th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova were also on the upset block on Thursday. Infostrada Sports provided a stat on the rarity of such parity at the French:

Things are far more controlled on the men's side, where all top-10 competitors are still in the field. Nadal and Djokovic both navigated their way through easy straight-sets victories Wednesday. Nadal extended his record-setting winning streak at Roland Garros with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 blasting of countryman Nicolas Almagro.

Despite the easy win, Nadal had quite the colorful exchange with a reporter following the match, per Rothenberg:

That said, it's hard to be too upset when you're as blinged up as Nadal was:

Djokovic had an equally relaxing afternoon in his 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Gilles Muller. The Serb had 35 winners against 18 unforced errors and won 84 percent of his first-serve opportunities. Bryant highlighted a potential fourth-round matchup that could make waves:

Rothenberg also noted Djokovic seems to be dealing with a leg injury: 

Third-seeded Andy Murray also advanced Thursday, needing four sets to take down Joao Sousa. Murray commented on the win afterward:

Overall, it was a quiet day on the men's side. But with the women ratcheting up the unpredictability, it's only a matter of time before the men follow.
