Venus doesn't think Australian open is a jinx for her
Melbourne, Jan 23 (IANS) American tennis star Venus Williams is yet to add the Australian Open to her seven Grand Slam titles. But her unceremonious second round loss to 46th-ranked Carla Suarez Thursday has not made her believe that the Grand Slam is a jinx for her.
'I don't believe in jinxes because I don't believe in witches or warlocks or magical creatures and stuff. Therefore, I can't believe in a jinx, ' Williams said. 'I definitely would have liked to play better. I mean, that's really what I feel like now. I spent a lot of time preparing and I would have liked to have played better.'
It was not Venus's worst loss at Melbourne Park. That came in the first round in 2006 against the 94th-ranked Tsvetana Prinonkova from Bulgaria.
