Serena Williams suffers shock defeat at the ASB Classic

 

Serena Williams’s recent game in New Zealand left her fans and supporters in shock. Her match between American Madison Brengle in the second round of the WTA Auckland Classic on Wednesday had to bring an end to her return to the court.

Brengle dropped her second service game but at 4-1 down reeled off five consecutive games to take the first set.There was a service break each in the second set in which Williams held and lost five set points before going on to take the tie-break 7-3.The final set went with serve until Williams double faulted when serving to stay in the match at 4-5.

“I really think I played … I’m trying to think of a word that’s not obscene but that’s pretty much how I played,” Williams said.

“I just couldn’t get used to the wind. My opponent played in the exact same conditions so obviously she was used to it and her game was more suited to it but it was just really annoying me for whatever reason.”
