she was sweating profusely almost immediately, and her complexion had a grayish tinge to it. The crowd seemed to be supporting the Belgian. Still, it went to a tie-breaker.

Hopefully, Serena didn't catch a bug from her.

That they lost R1 in doubles.

Venus' singles loss really doesn't surprise me. Wasn't expecting too much from her in singles.

Double fault after double fault. Still match point against her.

And Serena has lost - straight sets, to the 21 year old Ukrainian, Elina Svitolina.
