Sports Digest: S. Williams drops match, will lose No. 1 ranking

Serena Williams' game collapsed in Stuttgart, Germany, after she swept the first set, leading to a 0-6, 6-1, 6-4 loss to China's Li Na that will cost her the No. 1 ranking. By dropping the second-round match at the Porsche Grand Prix, Williams will be overtaken by Jelena Jankovic in Monday's new rankings, the WTA said. Williams rolled through the first set and appeared headed for an easy victory. "I started making a lot of errors and I just gave it to her," she said.
