Pliskova rues misfiring serve after Australian Open exit

MELBOURNE, Jan 25 ― Karolina Pliskova's serve deserted her at the worst possible time as she fell to a 6-3 7-5 defeat by Magda Linette in the Australian Open quarter-finals today but the Czech said she would take some positives from her run at Melbourne Park.

“Super disappointed about today, because I just thought this was a match which I should win and I could win,” Pliskova, who missed last year's tournament due to an arm fracture, told reporters. “Obviously the serve was not great today at all. Pliskova made seven double faults compared to just one from her opponent. The Czech also chalked up 36 unforced errors, more than double Linette's count.

Pliskova, the 30th seed, had come into the contest with a 7-2 record against Linette but the Pole had beaten her in straight sets in their most recent meeting at the Billie Jean King Cup at the end of 2022.
