New York: Serena Williams and Venus Williams fell short on the scoreboard, dropping a 7-6(5), 6-4 decision against the Czech team of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night.
In what is likely their Grand Slam swansong as a doubles pair, the Williams sisters were on the wrong side of a tight opening set despite having two set points on return at 5-4 and later leading the tiebreak, 5-3.
