Karolina Pliskova Defeats Serena Williams At The Australian Open by buzkidOnline: 6:53am On Jan 23, 2019 |
Serena Williams missed four match points before losing to Czech seventh seed Karolina Pliskova in a dramatic Australian Open quarter-final. The 37-year-old led 5-1 in the final set but lost the last six games as her bid for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title ended with a 6-4 4-6 7-5 defeat in Melbourne. Williams seemed unsettled after turning her ankle on her first match point. 26-year-old Karolina Pliskova will now meet Japan's Naomi Osaka in Thursday's semi-finals. MySportDab report the other women's semifinal will be two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova against unseeded American Danielle Collins. "I was almost in the locker room but now stand here as the winner," said Pliskova, who reached the US Open final in 2016. "My mind was in the locker room at 5-1 down but I was still here. I was too passive and mentally down. She got a little bit shaky in the end. I took my chances and I won. "Naomi Osaka is dangerous but there is nobody more dangerous than Serena." Speaking after the game, Serena said: See more;https://www.mysportdab.com/2019/01/australian-open-karolina-pliskova.html 3 Likes

It's obvious age is telling on Serena. I admire her gut and how hard she works. But it's difficult going strong all the way especially when you're not getting any younger not to mention she's a mother now. I hope she hits the record but these young lass ain't respecting her reputation. She might just considering retiring and focus on family. I salute how hard Serena works. She's got nothing else to proof to anyone. 35 Likes 3 Shares |

Serena has fought a good fight. She has made her mark in the Tennis world. We think it is high time she consider retirement from professional Tennis to take care of other businesses and family. She came, She saw and she conquered! One Love Pretty Diva. 36 Likes 4 Shares

Serena Williams, a top tennis champion gets defeated. Apparently, nothing lasts forever. Dust off every proudness and remain humble. Nothing lasts forever. 1 Like 1 Share |

Exwizard:SMH. No wonder some Nigerian youths don't work hard, they always believe in joining one nonsense group to make money. Serena is ageing, and age is a factor in tennis. Karolina is one tough player who has long legs and height, including her age. Serena only has more stamina and experience but sometimes, the youthful strength can defeat experience. Anthony Joshua showed it against Vladimir Klitschko. 5 Likes 1 Share |
