MELBOURNE: China's Wang Qiang has done the unthinkable, beating tennis legend Serena Williams, 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5, in round three of the Australian open on Friday (Jan 24). In the quarterfinals of last year's US Open, Williams demolished Wang, 6-1, 6-0, but this time the story would be very different. After last time I did really hard work on and off the court so I think it's really good work," Wang said in a post-match interview. Eyeing an historic victory, Wang entered the second set tiebreak with everything to gain. Despite opportunities to edge ahead Wang and Williams went game for game, and although it appeared they were headed for another tiebreak, during the final game, Wang struck.
