Perhaps the biggest upset of the Australian Open tennis is the ouster of world no.3 Serena Williams - the five times Wimbledon champion and recently US Open and Istanbul champion, from the quarters of the Australian Open Wednesday today.
Serena who was aspirant of the Australian Open crown has been on wining spree since here coming back to tennis after healing his injury was knocked out by none other than her own fellow American 29th tanked Sloane Stephens.
Serena had played against Sloane Stephens only once in her career and that too recently at Brisbane 2013 in the quarters when she beat her 6-4, 6-3. Sloane Stephens' winning over Serena in the quarters of Australian Open today is a sort of revenge taken - but too soon.
Serena had not lost any of her last ten matches, while generally unknown Sloane Stephens had lost twice in her last ten matches at Brisbane and Hobart.
So it is goodbye to Serena, who must be feeling shattered and devastated today. And it is goodbye to Serena's Wilson racquet which paid the price of fury of an knocked-out Serena, who was seen struggling with her injuries throughout the match.
