American Serena Williams withdrew from the French Open on Monday, shortly before she was due on court to face Maria Sharapova in a much-anticipated fourth round showdown.

She said: “Unfortunately I’m having some issues with my pec muscle. Right now I can’t actually serve it’s kind of hard to play.”
