May 31, 2005

Pictures from Day 9

France's Mary Pierce thrilled the Paris fans by crushing world number one Lindsay Davenport 6-3, 6-2.

The only French player left in either singles draw, the 2000 champion will play Russia's Elena Likhovtseva for a place in Saturday's final.

Pierce, seeded 21, was leading 5-0 and about to serve for the match when a man in shorts invaded centre court before being quickly pulled away by security.

Aged 30 and making her 15th appearance in her home event, Pierce will play in the semi-finals here for the third time.
