Venus One And Done Down Under

((HT: ESPN))

22-seed Ekaterina Makarova knocked off Venus Williams in Day One, Round One of the 2014 Australian Open...

Here's the short version...


Venus loses in three sets 2-6, 6-4, 6-4

"My level was a little bit too up and down

"Obviously my error count was a little high," Williams said after the match. "I have to give her a lot of credit, though, she was very determined, played hard."


It was only the second time in 14 appearances that Venus lost in the first round. Her best appearance was a loss to her sister in the 2003 final.
