Ivanovic sends Serena packing

Serena Williams was sensationally dumped out of the Australian Open in the fourth round by a resurgent Ana Ivanovic.

Ivanovic had failed even to win a set in four previous clashes against Williams, who was on a 25-match winning streak, but the 14th seed produced a stunning display to triumph 4-6 6-3 6-2.

Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou had said before the tournament he thought she could win all four Grand Slams this year, but instead the 32-year-old has again suffered a shock defeat in Melbourne.
