Williams lost the first set 6-2 and the writing on the wall seemed to be clear to her and as the second set progressed it became difficult for her to digest that she was being outplayed by a novice, who was barely a 2-year-old child when Williams had won her first Grand Slam title in US way back in 1999, and she began losing her cool. She was called for receiving on field advice from her coach and in disgust she broke her racket, and even worse she entered into a verbal duel with chair umpire calling him a thief for stealing a point, making her forfeit the game and eventually she lost the set and handed over straight victory to her rival 6-2, 6-4.
