Guardian Sport1 min read111 words
The Williams sisters were eliminated in the opening round of the US Open women's doubles, falling 6‑3, 6‑7(6), 7‑6(7) to the Taiwanese pair of Chan Hao‑ching and Maya Joint. The match, played in New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium, saw the American duo rally from a 1‑4 deficit in the final set and seize a 5‑0 lead in the third‑set tiebreak before ultimately surrendering the point.
The three‑hour contest highlighted the Williams sisters’ resilience, yet the comeback was insufficient to secure a victory. Their early exit marks a rare first‑round loss for one of the sport’s most successful doubles teams and advances Chan and Joint into the next stage of the tournament.
