Serena Williams has withdrawn from the French Open prior to her second-round match against Tsvetana Pironkova on Wednesday.
Williams dropped out due to an Achilles injury.
The exit extends a Grand Slam drought for the 23-time major champion, who has been looking to tie Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 since winning the 2017 Australian Open.
