Serena & Venus Williams Lose Olympic Doubles Match [VIDEO]
Not so good news. Serena and Venus Williams have never lost an Olympic doubles match until Sunday night, going 15-0 and earning three gold medals together.
Their first-round opponents at the Rio de Janeiro Games, the Czech Republic’s Lucie Safarova and Barbora Strycova, never had won any sort of match as a pair, at any event. And they had zero wins between them in Olympic doubles competition, going a combined 0-3 with other partners.
So it fans were shocked when the famous Williams sisters were beaten 6-3, 6-4 by Safarova and Strycova in the first round in Rio.
Serena said after their loss:
We played terrible and it showed in the results.
The American duo was seeded No. 1 and coming off a 14th Grand Slam championship together at Wimbledon a month ago.
This was Serena’s second match of the day: The 22-time major singles champion won her first-rounder in that event earlier Sunday. The 36-year-old Venus, meanwhile, now has two first-round exits at the Rio Olympics, because she was beaten in singles on Saturday night.

Well, at least they’ve won before. Maybe it was the combo of Serena already having had another match earlier in the day and Venus was ill earlier that day as well. Oh well, you can’t win them all.
