The Williams sisters’ celebration at the U.S. Open, which was intended to take place in front of a packed house during prime time, ended up being a little less joyous than anticipated on Thursday night.
The Czech doubles duo of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova was the rain cloud because, unlike Venus and Serena Williams, they have not combined to win 14 Grand Slam doubles titles.
In reality, before entering Arthur Ashe Stadium for their first-round match against Team Williams, the 37-year-old Hradecka and the 17-year-old Noskova had never competed in a professional tournament together.
However, the Czechs’ rapid chemistry allowed them to win in a close opening set and go on to win 7-6 (5), 6-4 to put a dejected opponent out of their misery.
