Williams sisters crash out

THE Williams sisters last night faced suggestions their domination of women’s tennis was drawing to a close after they both tumbled out of Wimbledon.

The siblings endured straight-sets defeats, Serena losing to Marion Bartoli shortly before Venus was demolished by Tsvetana Pironkova.

It will be the first time since 2006 that neither has won Wimbledon and only the third final in 11 years that will see a different name etched onto the All England Club trophy.
