former Spain midfielder who won five
Europa League titles and was part of Ar

news. Beloved Sevilla star José Antonio
Reyes has died in a traffic collision. Rest
in peace,” Sevilla said on Twitter.

and Atletico Madrid among other clubs
in a professional career that spanned
nearly 20 years, after making his debut
for Sevilla as a 16yearold.
He helped Arsenal go unbeaten
through the 200304 season, scoring
two crucial goals toward the end of the
campaign to keep that record intact. He
also won a Spanish league title with Real
Madrid, and five Europa League crowns
with Sevilla and Atletico Madrid. He
also made 21 appearances for Spain be
tween 200306.
“I am devastated to hear the terrible
news about Jose,” former Arsenal man
ager Arsene Wenger said in a statement.
“To his family and friends, all support
from everyone in the Arsenal family. He
will remain forever in our hearts.”
Arsenal said it would fly the club flag
at half mast at its training ground on
Saturday.

Gov. Henry McMaster plans a cere
monial signing of the tax break bill
Wednesday in downtown Rock Hill.

there will be Panthers players or coach

McMaster officially signed the bill

ey to build their new complex near Rock
Hill.
Opponents said the state shouldn’t

PARIS – Serena Williams’ quest for a
24th Grand Slam title ended with her
earliest loss at a major tournament in
five years.
Williams was outplayed in the third
round of the French Open by 20year
old American Sofia Kenin, who used
clean, deep groundstrokes to put to
gether the 62, 75 upset Saturday.
It was the second significant surprise
in a matter of hours: Earlier in the day,
No. 1 seed Naomi Osaka was eliminated
64, 62 by 42ndranked Katerina Sinia
kova of the Czech Republic. That ended
Osaka’s 16match Grand Slam winning
streak, which included titles at the U.S.
Open final in September – when she
beat Williams in the final – and at the
Australian Open in January.
Osaka was trying to become the first
woman to win three consecutive major
trophies since Williams grabbed four in
a row in 201415, a run that was preced
ed by a secondround loss at Roland
Garros and a thirdround loss at Wim
bledon.
Since those earlyforher defeats,
Williams had won six of the 14 majors
she entered to surpass Steffi Graf ’s pro
fessionalera record of 22 Grand Slam
singles championships. With 23, Wil
liams stands one away from Margaret
Court’s mark for the most in tennis his
tory; Court played in both the profes
sional and amateur eras.
Williams, who is 37, sat out four
Slams in 201718 while she was off the
tour to have a baby. Her first major tour
nament back was last year’s French
Open, where she withdrew before a
fourthround match because of a chest
muscle injury. She went on to reach the
finals of Wimbledon and the U.S. Open,
before wasting match points during a
quarterfinal loss at the Australian Open.
Williams came to Paris having played
only four matches since then; she with
drew from two tournaments because of
an injured left knee and another be
cause of illness.
She struggled through her opening
match at the French Open, which she
has won three times, and again against
the 35thranked Kenin, who never be
fore had made it to the round of 16 at a
major.
But Kenin played quite well, never
showing a trace of nerves. It was Wil
liams whose strokes were offtarget:
Her 34 unforced errors were twice as
many as Kenin’s total.
Remarkably, Kenin broke Williams
four times, while only ceding one of her
own service games.
