Serena Williams has pulled out of her fourth-round match at the French Open against Maria Sharapova because of a pectoral muscle injury that won't allow her to serve, she announced on Monday.
"I'm beyond disappointed," Williams said. "I gave up so much, from time with my daughter to time with my family. I put everything on the court. ... So it's really difficult to be in this situation."
Williams, who said she started feeling the issue during her last match, will get an MRI on Tuesday.
Neither Williams nor Sharapova played in last year's French Open -- Williams was pregnant at the time; Sharapova was denied a wild-card spot after serving a doping ban.
Monday was to be their 22nd head-to-head meeting. Williams has won 19 so far, including the past 18
