Three-time champion Serena Williams was stunned in the French Open third round by unseeded American Sofia Kenin.
Williams, 37, was seeded 10th but lost 6-2 7-5 to her 20-year-old compatriot, who was at times booed by the crowd.
The defeat means Williams' quest to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles continues.
"I'm so happy with this win - obviously you can tell with these emotions," a crying Kenin told the crowd on Philippe Chatrier.
"Playing against Serena, you have to fight for every point."
Williams' defeat followed the shock exit by world number one Naomi Osaka a few hours earlier and leaves only three top-10 players in the women's draw.

Tell me why no one demanded she and her sister take testosterone reducing drugs, but they demand the female african runner who kicks ass in her races, must take them.

Did she blame the officiating for this loss as she did for her last one?

Was watching at the gym. Not sad at all. The millionairess Williams sisters are singularly unimpressive.
To: Cecily
Adios Serena! I watched her in her first round match. To put it diplomatically, she is not very fit. If her opponent can run her around she can be beaten. As she was today. Should I root for her as the American? After her meltdown at last year’s US Open I think she is nothing but a spoiled child.

Tennis is age-ist! 37 years old should get extra points added.

Shes a hermaphrodite. She has 3x T of an average woman.
That is still 7 to 20x less T than an average man.
In terms of T she is far closer to a woman than a man.
Further none of this is because she did anything to herself, she had no control over being a hermaphrodite. Its not a guy one day deciding to be a woman and compete as a woman.

I Agree. Being a hermaphrodite would be a real burden to bear.

I said to my wife (She was watching) **”I wouldn’t want to be a suitcase after this match.”
She burst out laughing.
