			Dokic bids farewell to French Open June 02, 2001 Jelena Dokic Paris, FRANCE, June 1 (AP) - Jelena Dokic wasn't very flattering about the woman who upset her at the French Open Friday, Hungarian qualifier Petra Mandula, ranked 131st in the world. "She didn't have a huge serve or a return," said Dokic, seeded 15th, after the 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss. "It was a player I shouldn't have lost to." "Everything that she won was my mistake," said Dokic, a former Wimbledon semifinalist who had been considered a top contender at the French. "The way she plays, it usually suits me. She doesn't do very much," the 18-year-old said about her opponent who was playing at Roland Garros for the second time. "It's just a matter of getting balls in." Getting balls in was a big part of the problem in Dokic's third-round ouster. She served seven double faults and committed 53 unforced errors. Line calls were another issue; Dokic debated several with the umpire. She also had a problem with her foot in the third set and had to call timeout so a trainer could examine it. "I don't know what it is. I mean, I just had trouble moving it," Dokic said.
