French Open 2016

Serena Williams was knocked out of the French Open after losing to Elena Rybakina in straight sets on Sunday

Former world number one Andy Murray and Eugenie Bouchard, a semi-finalist in Paris six years ago, were handed wild card entries for the French Open which begins on September 27.

Serena Williams had not lost to a player outside the top 100 since falling to France's Virginie Razzano in the first round of the 2012 French Open.

Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic shared an Instagram Live chat where they discussed their rivalry.

Roger Federer is third in the world rankings, while Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic won all four Grand Slams between them this year.

Top seed Novak Djokovic won 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 and will face Dominic Thiem on Friday in what will be his 35th Grand Slam semifinal.

Roger Federer missed French Open in 2016 with an injury and skipped the clay season the last two years.

The 31-year-old former world number one won the last of his 12 majors at the 2016 French Open when he completed the career Grand Slam.

Kiki Bertens, who reached the French Open semi-finals in 2016, had never before been past the Wimbledon third round.

Djokovic's caution comes as he sits a lowly 22nd in the ATP rankings.

Simona Halep's victory over third seed Garbine Muguruza also means she will retain the world number one ranking next week.

The 26-year-old Romanian tackles 2016 Roland Garros winner and reigning Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza for a place in Saturday's final.

Sharapova, who missed the 2016 tournament because of a doping ban and last year after she was refused a wild card, was broken six times, committed 27 unforced errors and won just five points on her own serve in the second set.

Highly-rated Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov was knocked out by Germany's Maximilian Marterer 5-7, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5, 6-4.

Djokovic, the 2016 Roland Garros champion and former world number one, is seeded 20 this year after struggling to rediscover his best form after returning from a right elbow injury.
