NEW YORK — Serena and Venus Williams are out of the U.S. Open women’s doubles after losing in a match tiebreaker.
The sisters blew a 5-0 lead in the 10-point tiebreaker and lost 6-3, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (10-7) on Friday night to Hao-Ching Chan and Maya Joint.
It was the first U.S. Open match since 2022 at the Grand Slam tournament the sisters won twice. They pulled out the second set in a tiebreaker, battled back from 4-1 down in the third set to tie it, but then faltered late.
Serena came back to tennis this year at 44. Venus has continued to play on tour at 46.
