Williams, which was clearly favored, then with compliments. “She is a superstar. She is like a goddess here, so it was difficult for me to play this match,” said Cheeky, who is led to position 24 in the ranking. “It was really a great match and a great honor to play against her,” added the winner.
Williams was without a chance at the match, which ended after 73 minutes. Serena Williams’ sister is one of the best tennis professionals in history and comes to 21 Grand Slam titles-7 in singles and 14 in doubles with their younger sister Serena Williams.
