Williams humbled by MakarovaA SURREAL air enveloped Rod Laver Arena yesterday afternoon as the biggest upset of the Australian Open reached its denouement. It was as though the fans had suspended belief in the notion of Serena Williams, five-time champion, losing to a Russian most of them had never previously heard of.
Williams was in trouble in her fourth-round match against Ekaterina Makarova, to be sure. But she has found trouble before and blasted her way out of it. Nobody fights like Williams; nobody plays the big points better.
