Serena Pulls a Sabatini

Shocking upset at the French Open today, with Serena Williams losing to unheralded Frenchwoman Virginie Razzano in the first round. Not only was Williams 17-0 on clay this year -- and had never lost in the first round of a Slam -- she was up a set and 5-1 in a second-set tiebreak before crumbling. (She was actually crying on court after blowing the second set, a la me at the Mesa Parks and Recreation 12-and-under boys' consolation round in 1979.) I knew Serena's days of invincibility were over, but I still could have never predicted something like this.
