French Open ends in tears for Serena

Serena Williams’ French Open ended in tears and acrimony today after the world number one and top seed crashed out at the semi-final stage following a 6-2 4-6 7-5 defeat to Belgium’s Justine Henin-Hardenne.

The match, though, will be remembered more for the reaction of the Roland Garros crowd which was merciless in its hostility towards the American.
