Serena Williams eliminated in 4th round of French Open

PARIS (AP) — Serena Williams' latest bid for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title has ended at the French Open.

Williams lost in the fourth round to 21st-seeded Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, 6-3, 7-5.

The six-foot Rybakina, who is 21, was playing in the fourth round of a major for the first time. She still hasn't dropped a set in the tournament.

The 39-year-old Williams first played at Roland Garros in 1998, one year before Rybakina was born.

Rybakina broke at love in the next-to-last game, and then calmly served out the victory.

Williams' most recent major title came in early 2017. She had been 13-0 against players from Kazakhstan.
