They were taken down by the duel of Maya joint and Hao Qingchan. It was a real nail-biter of a match, going all the way to a deciding tiebreaker. Joint and Chan were down 5 points to zero in that final tiebreaker, but they managed to dig deep and pull off the win. The final score was 6-3, 6-7, with the tiebreaker going 10-7. This isn't the first time Maya joint has played spoiler to Serena Williams this year. Just a few weeks ago at Wimbledon, joint also knocked Serena out in the first round of the singles tournament. So she's definitely got a knack for taking down the big names. The crowd at Arthur Ash Stadium was definitely into it, a packed house cheering on the sisters. But ultimately, joint and Chan showed incredible grit, especially coming back from that huge deficit in the tiebreaker.

It's a testament to their skill and mental toughness. This early exit for the William sisters in doubles is a significant moment.
