ESPN posted:

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Four times, Serena Williams was only one point -- a single point -- from closing out a victory in the Australian Open quarterfinals.

On the first such chance, at 5-1, 40-30 in the third set, she turned her left ankle awkwardly. The owner of the best serve in the sport would lose every point she served the rest of the way.

And so it was that a startling reversal and result would follow Wednesday at Melbourne, with Williams dropping the last six games of a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 loss to No. 7 seed Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic.

jesus christ she stared down 4 match points to Serena loving Williams and pulled it off :stare:

Serena’s injury seems extremely relevant context tbh

Oh it totally is, but that's still a hell of a job.
