Serena Williams Knocked Out Of Women’s Singles in Rio Olympics

Serena Williams lost to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-4, 6-3, the defeat robbing her a chance of fifth Olympic gold medal.

Top seed and defending champion Williams was clearly struggling with a right shoulder injury as she was stunned 6-4, 6-3 by Svitolina, 13 years her junior.

“The better player won,” said Williams, who served up eight double faults, including five in one game in the second set.
