Serena Williams says she made "far too many errors to be a professional athlete" as she was knocked out in the Australian Open third round. Instead of those results laying the platform for another title challenge, they preceded her earliest exit at the Australian Open since 2006. She has not won a Slam since the 2017 Australian Open, when she was eight weeks pregnant. Williams says she still has the drive to win that elusive 24th title and believes she can still match Australian Court. Wang dedicated the victory to her former coach, Peter McNamara, who died from cancer just weeks before last year's US Open.
