 Wozniacki, seeded five, joined Romanian third seed Simona Halep,
last year's runner-up, and number six Eugenie Bouchard of Canada,
after a 6-4 7-6(4) defeat on a blustery Phillipe Chatrier court.
Goerges, who has fallen to 72 in the rankings after rising into the
top 20 in 2012, battled back from a break behind to clinch the
opening set and then broke Wozniacki's serve at 5-5 in the second,
only to falter when serving for the match.
She played a solid tiebreaker though to send Wozniacki spinning to a
second successive early defeat at Roland Garros after she fell in
the first round last year.
Sara Errani, the runner-up in 2012, avoided any mishaps though as
the Italian beat Carina Witthoeft of Germany 6-4 7-6(4).
The men's draw has been relatively free of high-profile casualties
so far and Croatian ninth seed Marin Cilic continued the trend with
an easy 7-6(3) 6-1 6-1 defeat of Italian qualifier Andrea Arnaboldi
to move into the third round.
