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:

The OP did a very poor reporting. Serena was injured in the final set when she was 5-1 up. No way could she have lost like that if not for the pain that didn't allow her to run freely on the court .

Someone said she was injured in the 3rd set, while she was being trailed 5-1. She should retired instead of playing on. There are still many grand slam to be played

lol

I think the injury was a cover up, she was hurt quite alright and would have asked for a break but she didnt ask.
She went ahead to win 5points with the injury too. So it has nothing to do with the injury.




Besides she doesnt have many more grandslams to win coz age isnt on her side and she is getting slower. She need to pave way for another player to emerge. All she needs is one more grandslam to break a record and make history.
