Williams shocked at Australian OpenMELBOURNE: Five-time champion Serena Williams crashed to one of her worst ever grand slam defeats and Japan's Kei Nishikori stunned Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on a day of major shocks at the Australian Open on Monday.
As Andy Murray reached the quarter-finals with minimal fuss, little-known Russian Ekaterina Makarova handed out one of the Open's great upsets when the world number 56 beat out-of-sorts Williams 6-2, 6-3.
Williams, who has been struggling with an ankle injury and admitted she was "not 100 percent", was broken five times and sent down seven double-faults to end her 17-match winning streak in Melbourne, stretching back to 2009. (AFP)
