Serena Williams crashes out of French Open following shocking loss to Sofia Kenin

Serena Williams was stunned by an unseeded Sofia Kenin during her third match at the Rolland Garros that resulted in a loss for the three-time Garros winner.

Williams, 37, is currently ranked 10th after making it to the finals at the US Open, but lost 6-2 7-5 to her 20-year-old compatriot.

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.

Earlier in the day, defending champion Simona Halep enjoyed a straightforward 55-minute victory, beating Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko 6-2 6-1 to reach the last 16.

World number 35 Kenin will play Australian eighth seed Ashleigh Barty in the fourth round, while Halep faces unseeded 18-year-old French Open debutant Iga Swiatek.
