Williams beaten again

Serenawilliams fell to 0-2 in matches since announcing ‘‘the countdown has begun’’ on her career, losing 6-4 6-0 to US Open champion Emma Raducanu in thewestern & Southern Open in Mason, Ohio, yesterday. Williams, 40, said lastweek in a Vogue magazine essay and an Instagram post that her career was winding down, although she did not explicitly say the US Open, which begins on August 29 in New York, would be her last tournament. The Cincinnati event was the second US Open tuneup for Williams, and the next time she takes the court will be at Flushing Meadows. She lost to Belinda Bencic in straight sets last week in Toronto.
