Katarina Srebotnik described her third-round victory over Serena Williams at the French Open as the best of her career.

A SHOCKED Serena Williams hailed an “unbelievable” performance from Katarina Srebotnik after crashing out of the French Open at the third-round stage yesterday.

Top seed Maria Sharapova admitted she only had herself to blame as she came close to becoming the first high-profile casualty in this year’s French Open.
