NEW YORK - An out-of-gas Serena Williams crashed out of the Western & Southern Open on Tuesday , losing in three sets to 13th seeded Maria Sakkari 5-7, 7-6 , 6-1 in New York.
The joint WTA and ATP tournament was moved from Cincinnati to New York where the same quarantine bubble will house the US Open starting on Aug 31. Williams made seven double faults and won just 66 per cent of her first-serve points against Sakkari. Djokovic, who captured the Australian Open in February, needed six match points to tough out the victory and reach the quarter-finals of the hard-court tournament.
Djokovic advances to the quarters where he will play German Jan-Lennard Struff, who defeated seventh seed David Goffin 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
