Serena Williams stunned

Singapore: Serena Williams was routed 6-0, 6-2 by Simona Halep at the WTA Finals on Wednesday in one of the most one-sided losses of the 18-time Grand Slam champion’s career.The last time Williams managed to win just two games in a WTA Tour or Grand Slam match was in 1998 when she was just 16.

 

“Embarrassing describes the way I played today,” Williams said. “Very embarrassing.”

The loss in the round-robin match snapped Williams’ 16-match winning streak at the year-end championships, where she is the two-time defending champion.

 

“My forehand was off today,” Williams said. “It’s obviously gone on an early vacation. My serve was at best at the 10-and-under division of juniors.”Ana Ivanovic beat EugenieBouchard in Wednesday’s other game, winning 6-1, 6-3. Ivanovic is 1-1 and Bouchard fell to 0-2.
