In a nearly 3-hour tennis thriller, the Williams sisters had to acknowledge the superiority of Australian Maya Joint and Taiwan’s Hao-Ching Chan after a dramatic battle with a score of 3:6, 7:6(8), 6:7(7).
In the third set tiebreak to 10 points, the home players started impressively and built a 5:0 lead, but then completely lost the initiative and lost 10 of the next 12 points.
This was the second meeting of the legendary sisters playing together in doubles after Serena sensationally returned to tennis this year.
A few weeks ago in Cincinnati, they lost dramatically 2:6, 6:1, 8:10 to the pair Peyton Stearns and Marta Kostyuk.
