I just watched in on ESPN. She lost to an 18 yr old from Bulgaria, Pironkova, ranked 94th in the world and playing in her first major.

Like I always say, weird things happen in Australia.

Must be all that upside-down gravity.

Could also be that the Williams sisters are getting old, in tennis terms.

Serena is 24, Venus is 25. That is not old in woman's tennis. They lose because they don't play like they used to .....

they lose because they don't practise/ don't care anymore, they've got to much on in their lives to worry about tennis.

Ahem, they might ALSO lose because they happen to come up against a new hot player who has to play her first major SOMEtime.

I'm betting Pironkova will obtain a higher ranking rather quickly.
