Ten hours after Serena Williams was knocked out of the third round, Venus followed in suit, losing 5-7, 4-6 to Italian Flavia Penneta. The last few games of the match most likely would not have been played had Venus appealed to the chair ump to suspend the match due to darkness. With the sisters losses, the women’s draw is blown wide open. One thing is for certain: it’s gonna be a dogfight for the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.
