The Latest: Serena Williams at French Open to watch Venus

PARIS (AP) The Latest on the French Open (all times local):

12:20 p.m.

Serena Williams is at the French Open, after all – but as a spectator, not a competitor.

The owner of 23 Grand Slam singles titles is not playing for the rest of this season because she is pregnant.

Williams found a seat in the shade at Court Philippe Chatrier during her older sister Venus’ second-round match against Kurumi Nara on Wednesday.

Serena Williams’ baby is due in the fall. She has said she will return to the tour in 2018.
