Serena Williams' quest for her 24th Grand Slam was cut short after she was defeated by Naomi Osaka in the 2021 Australian Open semi-finals. She also won the final and gets her fourth championship.
Clearly appalled after being defeated by a young player who always had her as an inspiration, she briefly explained the reason for the result of the match, which was not very satisfactory:"I don’t know.” Then, choking back tears, added, “I’m done,” and exited stage right.
This was the fourth meeting of these two tennis legends.
