Serena Williams was sent spinning out of the Western and Southern Open by Maria Sakkari yesterday after the Greek rallied from a set down to beat the 23-time Grand Slam champion 5-7 7-6(5) 6-1 and reach the quarterfinals.

Sakkari next faces Briton Johanna Konta.

Earlier, Naomi Osaka beat Dayana Yastremska 6-3 6-1, while Victoria Azarenka beat Alize Cornet 6-4 7-5.

Top seed Novak Djokovic made quick work of Tennys Sandgren, never dropping serve en route to a 6-2 6-4 win, while big-serving Milos Raonic enjoyed a 6-2 6-2 win over Andy Murray.

Djokovic reached the quarterfinals and extended his win-loss record to 20-0 this year. Defending champion Daniil Medvedev beat Aljaz Bedene 6-3 6-3, while Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated John Isner 7-6(2) 7-6(4). — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
