Serena Williams loses an incredible match against Karolina Pliskova after she was leading 5-1 in the decider and she wasn’t able to convert 4 match points. The American champion got injured to her left ankle, but she didn’t want to use it as an excuse, to give full credit to her opponent that eventually won 6-4 4-6 7-5.
Pliskova beats Serena Williams after saving 4 MPs and recovering from 1-5 in the 3rd
She played really well. SERENA
During the press conference following her match, Serena commented
“I think she just played well on my serve after that point. I think she just kind of started playing really, really good. I don’t think it had anything to do with my ankle, per se. I just think she was just nailing and hitting shots.
I think she just played lights out on match point, literally, hitting lines. She just went crazy on match point. Obviously, I made some mistakes, but she played really well after that.
There’s nothing I did wrong on those match points. I didn’t do anything wrong. I stayed aggressive. She just literally hit the lines on some of them. One she hit an ace, unreturnable serve. I literally did everything I could on those match points.
I can’t say that I choked on those match points. She literally played her best tennis ever on those shots.”
Classy.
CONGRATULATING
