Serena Williams Knocked-Out of Australian Open by fellow American Sloane Stephens


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.

Serena's racquet that paid the price of her defeat

Sloane Stephens now plays against world no.1 Victoria Azarenka in the semi finals Thursday tomorrow. In the other semi final world no.2 Maria Sharapova meets 6th ranked Chinese Na Li, who also upset world no.4 Radwanska in the quarters.

Movin' Sports will provide links for the viewing the women's single semis live free streaming by today evening.

Andy Murray too knocked out of Paris Masters in the Third Round


The third round of the Paris Masters was as devastating for the top seeded players as was the second round. In the second round, much to his surprise, world no.2 Novak Djokovic from Serbia was outclassed by American Sam Querrey and knocked out of Paris.

The results of men's singles of the third round Thursday today were no different. Today, it was the turn of world no.3 Andy Murray to be stunned and shocked as 69th Polish Jerzy Janowicz beat Murray 5-7 7-6(4) 6-2. Although Murray won the first set 7-5, Janowicz did not allow the US Open champion over awe him with his 'credentials' and knocked him out of the tournament, just like Djokovic. Someone rightly remarked that Andy Murray was sluggish and not the Andy we have seen earlier in the US Open or the London Olympics.

The second setback came when 121st ranked wild card French Llodra beat seventh ranked Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro 6-4 6-3. 

Rest of the matches were not as deadly and devastating as the first two. 

8th ranked Serbian Janko Tipsarevic beat 9th ranked Argentinian Juan Monaco 6-3 3-6 6-3, while 5th ranked Berdych from Czech Republic beat South African Kevin Anderson 1-6 6-3 6-4.
