Serena Williams leaving court after retiring from 3rd round match against Garbine Muguruza. |
Serena Williams retires after the first game of the second set while being affected by something curtailing her ability to play.
Playing against World #20 Garbine Muguruza of Venezuela, Serena began the match quickly getting to 3-0, giving all the appearances that she came to seriously compete. Unfortunately she slowly began to play with less effect and called for the trainer until she eventually retired. Read the rest of this post...........

FRENCH OPEN DAY 4: Taylor Advances To Third Round, Venus and Serena Out In Second
Wednesday, May 28, 2014

WAY TO GO TAYLOR!!
In the breath of fresh air that eighteen-year-old American Taylor Townsend brings to the courts, she convincingly advanced to the third round of Roland Garros today after taking out the 20th seed, France's own Alize Cornet.
She is now the youngest American woman to advance to the third round at Roland Garros since 2003.
Up next for Taylor is Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain.
Matching Exits for the Williams Sisters
Now she's the youngest U.S. woman in the third round at Roland Garros since 2003. Next is a match against No. 14 Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain - See more at: http://www.coastreporter.net/american-teen-taylor-townsend-beats-20th-seeded-alize-cornet-at-french-open-to-reach-3rd-round-1.1078570#sthash.f6h2OPbs.dpuf
In what has to be one of the most unlikely unexpected combination of exits, both of the Williams sisters, World No. 1 Serena and 29th-seed-big-sister Venus both fell to their respective round two opponents.
Venus began her match well and it appeared that she would be able to contend well with nineteen-year-old Slovakian Anna Schmiedlova - not so. As the American's game slowly dismantled, Schmiedlova picked up the pace, and control of the match as well, eventually winning 2-6 6-3 6-4.
Of significantly greater shock was seeing the World No. 1 make her exit to Spaniard Garbine Muguruza - although her gameplay did not suggest that she was up for any task. For whatever reason, Serena struggled throughout the match and committed a laundry list of 28 unforced errors. In a little over an hour, Muguruza had the win of her career under her belt.
Oh well...
