WTF Serena?!?
Virginie Razzano def. (5) Serena Williams 4-6 7-6(5) 6-3
After 46 consecutive 1st round wins in Grand Slams, Serena Williams loses her opener to unheralded Virginie Razzano in an error-ridden match. Seriously, Serena, WTF??!????!?!??!?! Serena played like utter shit in this match. Broken early in the match, Serena did well to break to win the first set. But it was all downhill from there. Leading 5-1 in the tiebreak, Serena went on to lose 6 consecutive points to lose the set. During the changeover, Serena was seen to be in tears. Drama then ensued as Razzano raced to a 5-0 lead as an uninspired Serena emerged. Fighterena came to the rescue and won the next 3 games but it was too late. Razzano won the 9th game after surviving cramps and 5 break points. Oh dear Serena... No words. Even the umpire tried to help you by giving you free points for Razzano's yelps during the points but you didn't take them. WHY SERENA? WHY????
Oh ya... Here are the other results. As if they matter.
