Spectators boo losing Williams off court

VENUS WILLIAMS left Court Philippe Chatrier in the French Open to a sprinkling of boos, as Vera Zvonareva ended one of the most historic runs in world tennis and set up an all-Russian quarter final.

The 18-year-old from Moscow defeated Williams 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 to break the domination of the most famous sister act in sport.

It means there will be no all-Williams final at a Grand Slam for the first time since the Australian Open in January 2002.
