That’s a wrap: Serena Williams suffered her worst-ever Grand Slam defeat on Tuesday when France’s Virginie Razzano knocked her out of the French Open first round in a 4-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 upset.

It was the American’s first opening round loss in her 47 Grand Slam career and earliest exit since losing in the second round to sister Venus on her majors debut at the 1998 Australian Open.

Razzano, who took victory on her eighth match point, will now face Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus for a place in the last 32.
