First set: *Williams/Williams 3-2 Noskova/Hradecka (* Denotes servers)
Venus serves. The Americans leap out to a 30-0 lead and consolidate it with a punishing serve into the body that’s too good for Noskova. A nice moment for the teenager next though as she exchanges a series of fiery forehands with Venus, just 25 years her senior. She wins the point too and we’re soon at deuce. A double fault brings up break point for the Czechs, which Venus saves with a fine serve that Hradecka floats long. Venus hits another double fault – her serve is a little erratic today – but eventually it’s another Williams hold.

Bulk-billing statistics dishonest, minister says
The former government was not honest with Australians about the true state of bulk billing in Australia by selectively quoting only this [88%] figure
Primary care is in its worst shape since Medicare began. Across the country we hear stories of Australians not being able to get in to see a bulk-billing doctor, or GPs changing from bulk billing to mixed billing.
Simona Halep played a near-flawless final on Saturday to become the first Romanian woman to win Wimbledon, simultaneously wrecking Serena Williams’s bid for a record-equalling 24th major, a dream that grows more unlikely by the day.
The 37-year-old American – still one short of Margaret Court’s all-time tally – smiled graciously at the end but will have been crying inside, while Halep beamed like a lighthouse in celebration of a 6-2, 6-2 drubbing in only 56 minutes of perhaps the game’s greatest player.
Tennis champion describes pay discrepancy between male and female squads as ‘ludicrous’
Serena Williams and other prominent past and present American tennis players have expressed their support for a lawsuit filed by the US women’s national soccer team against their federation alleging gender discrimination in wages and conditions.
All 28 members of the US squad were named as plaintiffs in a federal court in Los Angeles on Friday, International Women’s Day.
The young congresswoman has turned the tables on the Wall Street Journal after it accused her of taking ‘pride in ignorance’
Large swaths of America appear to be suffering from a debilitating condition known as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Derangement Syndrome (AOCDS). Symptoms include bouts of extreme condescension, an inability to stop sputtering the word “socialist”, and overwhelming anger that a young woman of colour is unapologetically succeeding.
Herald Sun newspaper’s depiction of player ‘spitting the dummy’ at US Open had been widely condemned
A Herald Sun cartoon that depicted Serena Williams jumping in the air and “spitting the dummy” after losing a match to Naomi Osaka was not racist, the Press Council has found.
The News Corp cartoon came under global condemnation in September last year for publishing what some saw as a racist, sexist cartoon.
2. Penalizing someone a full game in a championship match is an awfully draconian penalty, not unlike a team being awarded a touchdown on a penalty in the second half of the Super Bowl. 3. As gracious as Serena was after the match towards the winner, Naomi Osaka, her eruption at the ump completely ruined that kid's moment.
