At the Australian Open in January, Venus Williams managed to play all of seven points against Andrea Petkovic before surrendering in their third-round clash with a hip injury. It was the American's first retirement in a Grand Slam match after playing 258 of them. Petkovic would go on to topple Maria Sharapova in the next round, that before the the Russian got her back at both Miami and then the French Open quarterfinals, the latter an 0-and-3 drubbing.
