Defending champion and world number one
Serena Williams was sent crashing out of the Olympic Games Tuesday,
losing 6-4, 6-3 to Elina Svitolina of Ukraine.
Defeat for the 34-year-old American
robbed her of the chance to secure a fifth gold medal and her 2016 Games
are now over after she and sister Venus were deposed as doubles
champions in the first round.
Svitolina, 21, will face two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova for a place in the semi-finals.
