Serena Williams will not win
her 24th grand slam title at the Australian Open this year.
Williams crashed out of the Australian Open at the quarter-final
stage in dramatic circumstances on Wednesday.
A left ankle injury surely
contributed to her squandering of a massive 5-1 advantage and four match points
to Karolina Pliskova, although the 37-year-old played down the problem and its
effect on the outcome.
“I don’t think it had anything to do with my ankle per se.
“I just think she was just
nailing and hitting shots. Obviously I made some mistakes but she played really
well after that,” Williams said afterwards.
The Czech, who also beat
Williams at the 2016 US Open, prevailed 6-4 4-6 7-5 in a shade past two hours
in Melbourne.
