Serena and Venus Williams lost their first-round US Open doubles match against the Czech Republic team of Linda Nosková and Lucie Hradecká on Thursday night in what’s expected to be their final time on the court together.

But Hradecká and Nosková would win the final two games to collect the win and move on to the next round. This was the first time we’ve seen the Williams sisters on the court together since the 2018 French Open.
That gap and inexperience in recent years showed itself, as their communication wasn’t as crisp as we’ve seen in the past.
