I couldn't believe this. I watched the highlights and was shocked. Then they talked to Serena and she just looked exhausted.Memorable comeback or great collapse? A closer look at Serena Williams' loss Down Under
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Serena Williams was one point from victory, one serve from setting up a semifinal rematch against 2018 US Open champion Naomi Osaka. The crowd inside Rod Laver Arena was beginning to thin, as Williams came back from a set and a break down against No. 7 Karolina Pliskova to take a seemingly insurmountable 5-1 lead in the third set. One point and the match was over.
Except it wasn't.
