Serena Williams and Venus Williams were the main event for the US Open women’s doubles on Friday. The American duo suffered a dramatic end to their season when they were eliminated by the Czech duo of Klara Zakopalova and Lucie Safarova.

Zakopalova and Safarova won their match in five sets, 7-5, 6-3, 6-2, and their third-set match in three sets too.

The pair were beaten in a four-set thriller.
