Serena And Venus Williams V Linda Noskov And Lucie Hradeck Us Open Doubles Live Us Open Tennis 2022

Show only key events Please enable JavaScript to use this feature First set: Williams/Williams 3-2 Noskova/Hradecka ( Denotes servers) Venus serves. The Americans jumped out to a 30-0 lead and cemented it with a punishing body serve that was too good for Noskova. A fine moment for the teenager though as she traded a series of fiery forehands with Venus, just 25 years her senior. She also wins the point and soon we reach deuce. A double fault brings up a break point for the Czechs, which Venus saves with a good serve that Hradecka floats away. Aphrodite hits another double fault – her serve is a bit shaky today – but in the end it’s another Williams feat. First set: Williams/Williams 2-2 Noskova/Hradecka* (* Denotes servers) Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula are the No2 seeds in women’s doubles. OR WAS: they just lost to Canadian/Australian duo Leylah Annie Fernandez and Daria Saville. Fernandez, you may recall, reached the singles final last year. Back to Arthur Ashe, Noskova serves and goes down the court 30-15. She is down for a few minutes but is back on her feet soon enough and holds serve. First set: Williams/Williams 2-1 Noskova/Hradecka ( Denotes servers) Serena’s serving line. And she continues her form from yesterday as the Williamses lead 40-15. But a double fault lets the Czechs back in and we’re soon in position. But some strong serves from Serena seal the game for the Americans. First set: Williams/Williams 1-1 Noskova/Hradecka* (* Denotes servers) Teen Noskova serves first for the Czechs – youth knows no fear etc. He lands an ace to make it 30-15, so not a bad decision at all. Another good serve helps close out the game. First set: Williams/Williams 1-0 Nosková/Hradecká ( Declares servers) Nosková took a bathroom break before the match even started. But you’d be nervous facing the Williams sisters too. Anyway, Venus serves Noskova first. The experienced Hradecká volleys into the net, maybe she’s also nervous, to give the Americans a 15-0 lead. Aphrodite has a few issues with the ball early on – it’s a quiet night and the sun is down, so there’s no problem with the conditions. That’s okay, they hold pretty easily and are on the board. Bethanie Mattek-Sands is in the ESPN booth and has played the Williams sisters in doubles. He says the sisters are Hall of Fame players based on their doubles ability alone. Mattek-Sands also praises Hradecká’s serve, which she rates as one of the best on tour. And the players are out on the field. First comes the Czech team of Linda Nosková and Lucie Hradecká with … maybe four cheers. I imagine the next pair will have a slightly stronger reception. But first we have a video presentation in which we’re told the Williamses are pretty good at tennis, all things considered. This is good information to know in the future. And then they came out: Venus in white and green and Serena in black. And, yes, there are many cheers. Although I wouldn’t say it’s deafening, perhaps reflecting that this is a double and that the stands are not yet full as the evening session crowd slowly registers. Maybe they’re still on the road watching the Mets at CitiField (the Mets beat the Dodgers 5-3 in the 8th, in case you want to know. Which you probably don’t). Updated at 00.11 BST The Williamses’ opponents tonight are a mix of youth and experience. Linda Nosková is only 17 years old and this is her first appearance in a Grand Slam doubles event. She currently sits outside the Top 200 in doubles, although that may be due to her inexperience rather than a lack of ability. However, her partner is a veteran of the circuit. At 37, Lucie Hradecká has been a professional for 18 years and has two Grand Slam doubles titles, including the US Open in 2013. She may be past her prime, but she’s still a Top 20 doubles player, so this race will be a no-brainer for Williams. We’ve talked a lot about Serena’s possible retirement after the US Open, but is this the last we’ll see of Venus? She is, after all, the older sister and has barely played in the last year due to injury. When she lost to Alison van Uytvanck in the first round of the singles here in New York, she was asked about her future and simply said: “Right now I’m just focused on the doubles.” In the Serena glow, it’s easy to forget how good Aphrodite has been in recent years. This was her 91st appearance in a major singles event, a record in the Open era. She has also won Wimbledon five times, trailing only Martina Navratilova (nine), Serena (seven) and Steffi Graf (seven). Oh, and her record at Flushing Meadows isn’t bad either: she won the singles title twice in the early 2000s and the doubles twice.

Preamble

Venus and Serena Williams are now 40 and 42 respectively, so they are no longer in the prime of their careers – although one of them has just won the world No 2 – but in their day they were arguably the most formidable doubles team in history. How good? The all-time grand slam record as a team is 125-14. In the Olympics they are 15-1 and in tournament finals they are a ridiculous 22-1. In total they have won 14 grand slam titles as doubles partners (to go with just 30 singles titles). In fact, it’s been a while since they played together in a grand slam – they reached the third round of the French Open in 2018. Their last doubles grand slam title came in 2016 at Wimbledon. So what are their chances this time? If Serena’s remarkable run in singles continues, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she drops out of doubles to conserve energy. But make no mistake, even in their 40s, the sisters are capable of making a deep run.
