Serena calls loss in Aussie Open tuneup 'unprofessional'
Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports
Serena Williams wasn't pleased with her second-round defeat at the hands of fellow American Madison Brengle on Wednesday at the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand. The loss included 88 unforced errors by Williams in the tuneup for this month's Australian Open.
"You really have to go back to the drawing board, because it's quite frankly unprofessional," Williams told reporters afterward. "Eighty-eight is way too many unforced errors."
She also commented on the windy conditions throughout the match.
"I can take solace in the fact the conditions won't be like this in Melbourne," Williams said.
