INDIAN WELLS, UNITED STATES (AFP) - Serena Williams, playing in her first WTA tournament since giving birth in September, crashed out of the Indian Wells tournament with a 6-3, 6-4 loss to her sister Venus on Monday (March 12).
Venus closed out the 29th career meeting between the two on her second match point as Serena sailed a forehand long to end the third round match.
Their most recent meeting was the 2017 Australian Open which Serena won before taking a 15-month hiatus due to a pregnancy.
