The Chinese underdog stunned Williams in a 6-4 6-7 7-6 victory – a result that is even more remarkable when you consider the American demolished the same opponent 6-1 6-0 in just 44 minutes at last year's US Open.
In commentary for Channel 9, former Australian player Jelena Dokic said: "This is unbelievable. I think everyone is in shock at what is happening here." The American had the momentum and put the squeeze on Wang, pushing her around the court and out-lasting the Chinese star in gruelling rallies as she claimed the breaker 7-2 to send the match to a deciding third set.
But serving at 5-6, Williams stumbled and gave Wang two match points. She saved the first then forced the game to deuce when Wang clunked a simple groundstroke into the net.
Almost Millman
Well done Millman.
Form is temporary!!!! Class is permanent!!!! RF at his best.......
China's overtaking the world... BEWARE!!!!!!

We all wanted Serena to win. When she 1st came her beads would fall out of her hair upsetting everyone. And when she beat Venus people speculated Venus threw the match a bit. More upset over Woza
Williams wasn’t good enough that big arse of hers was to much for her legs to carry around the court
Ha ha ha. Boring and ungracious. Clearly not fit. Hasn’t won a slam in three years. She’s done!
Yeah I hope Wang gives it to her
