Paris, Roland Garros, French Open Day 8 06/06/2021 Is the end in sight for Serena Williams (USA) as she loses fourth round match? Roger Parker International Sports Fotos Ltd
Serena Williams’ chances of equalling Margaret Court’s Grand Slam record took a other blow in Paris, but she wasn’t too worried after losing in straight sets to the Kazakh 21st seed Elena Rybakina.
“I’m kind of excited to switch surfaces, but historically I have done pretty well on grass,” Williams, who has won a Wimbledon seven times, said.
“I have done pretty well on clay too. Just not this particular season.”
“I’m in a much better place than when I got here,” Williams said.
“You know, (I was) just literally trying to win a match, because it had been a really difficult season for me on the clay.”
When asked if this could be her last French Open, Williams added: “I’m definitely not thinking about it at all.
“I’m definitely thinking just about other things but not about that.”
Williams, who turns 40 in September, last won a spasm title in 2017, at the Australian Open while pregnant with her daughter Alexis.
