Roland Garros witnesses big shock from Williams sisters

A big surprise happened in the second round of the women's singles at the French Open (Roland Garros) when the number 1 seed and defending champion Serena Williams was eliminated by the young Spanish player Gabrine Muguruza (ranked 35th in the world) with a score of 2-0.

It was even more surprising when Serena was defeated in a very weak way after 2 sets with the same score of 2-6, 2-6. In this match, Serena only won 8 winners, making 29 unforced errors.

This is only the second time Muguruza has attended Roland Garros. Last year, Muguruza had to stop in the second round.

“It’s great to win against Serena. I played well in this match. I have other important matches ahead and I need to be very careful,” Muguruza said.

Previously, Williams' older sister Venus also had to leave the tournament in the second round after losing 1-2 (6-2, 3-6, 4-6) to her little-known Slovakian opponent, Anna Schmiedlova.

In addition to the Williams sisters, another seed who had to leave the tournament was Italian player Flavia Pennetta after losing to Johanna Larsson (Sweden) 7-5, 4-6, 2-6./.
