Serena Williams out of Rio Olympics after losing to Ukrainian's Elina Svitolina.


 
Defending champion, Serena Williams, is out of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, after losing to 20th-ranked Ukrainian's Elina Svitolina.

Williams lost to Svitolina 6-4, 6-3 in the third round, ending her bid to become the first tennis player to collect a pair of singles golds.


Although she won gold medals in singles and doubles at the 2012 London Olympics, Williams heads home from Brazil with nothing as she and her older sister, Venus, also lost in the first round of doubles. Svitolina never before played in the Olympics and has only been to a major quarterfinals once.

So Sad, but, happy for Elina.
