Serena shock as Williams is dumped out of French Open by world
Serena Williams was dumped out in the first round of the French Open as unseeded home hope Virginie Razzano served up one of the biggest shocks in Roland Garros history.
Razzano, the world No 111, defeated the fifth seed and 13-time grand slam winner 4-6, 7-6, (7-5) 6-3 in an epic tussle that lasted three hours and three minutes.
Going home: Williams lost her first-round match on Tuesday
Williams' first ever defeat in the opening round of a grand slam event came amid occasionally controversial scenes on Court Philippe Chatrier, with Razzano twice penalised for 'hindrance' after crying out in pain during points as she laboured with a leg injury - much to the annoyance of her many supporters.
Razzano finally prevailed in a 23-minute, 13-deuce final game, the 29-year-old converting match point at the eighth time of asking.
