Serena Williams Knocked Out Of French Open

Serena Williams is out of the French Open after a shock 6-3 7-5 defeat by 21-year-old Elena Rybakina.

In an absorbing match, the 23-time Grand Slam winner was outmuscled by the Kazakh, who will now seek to take advantage of an open women's draw.

The American tried to lift her level but instead became the latest top-10 seed to depart the women's singles.

Her next chance to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles comes at Wimbledon from 28 June.

De Bruyne Wins Second PFA Men’s Award

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has won the Professional Footballers' Association men's Players' Player of the Year award for the second consecutive season.

City team-mate Phil Foden won the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

Both players were influential as City won a third Premier League title in four years and the Carabao Cup.

De Bruyne, 29, is the second player to retain the men's award, after Cristiano Ronaldo did so at Manchester United.

The Belgium international scored six Premier League goals and registered 12 assists in 2,001 minutes of top-flight football.

He played a key role in City's double success before fracturing his nose and left eye socket during the Champions League final defeat by Chelsea on 29 May.

He has since had minor surgery on his facial injury and will join the Belgium Euro 2020 squad on Monday.

Roger Federer Withdraws From French Open

Roger Federer has withdrawn from the French Open to protect his body despite reaching the fourth round.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion took the decision the day after a grueling third-round win over Dominik Koepfer.

"After two knee surgeries and over a year of rehabilitation it's important that I listen to my body and make sure I don't push myself too quickly on my road to recovery," Federer, 39, said.

He had been due to face Italian ninth seed Matteo Berrettini on Monday.

"After discussions with my team, I've decided I will need to pull out of Roland-Garros today," Federer said in a statement released by French Open organizers.

"I am thrilled to have gotten three matches under my belt. There is no greater feeling than being back on court."

Federer, who won the French Open in 2009, had two knee surgeries last year and had played only three matches in 16 months before arriving in Paris.

He has made no secret that his priority for this year is Wimbledon, which starts on 28 June.
