Serena Willims pulls out of French Open
Serena Williams pulled out of the French Open Friday because of an ankle injury. Williams, the 2002 French Open champion, withdrew during a quarterfinal match at Amelia Island in April and then missed the German Open in early May. She lost her first match after returning at the Italian Open on May 11. She moved poorly and called the 7-6 (2), 6-1 defeat to Francesca Schiavone the worst of her career. Williams, ranked fourth in the world, is 15-4 overall this year and has reached at least the quarterfinals in her last four appearances at Roland Garros. Russia's Elena Dementieva replaced the six-time Grand Slam winner as the fourth-seeded player in the French Open draw later Friday. Lindsay Davenport of the United States is the No. 1 seed. The two-week clay-court tournament begins Monday.
