RARE PHOTOS: Luck runs out for saville after second madrid exit | Rare Historical Photos

Daria Saville's luck has finally run out at the Madrid Open as Australia's sole woman representative in the big clay-court event got knocked out -- for a second time in four days.

The second chance was gleefully taken advantage of by 30-year-old Saville, as she went on to win her first-round match against American Hailey Baptiste on Wednesday.
