Serena Williams' attempt to equal the record for 24 Grand Slam titles has been brought to stunning stop after she was ousted from the Australian Open, losing to Karolina Pliskova in the quarter finals.

Williams lost the match 4-6, 6-4, 5-7. 

"I took my chances and won. I'm happy to play two days in a row. I like it. Naomi Osaka is dangerous but there is nobody more dangerous than Serena," said Pliskova after the win.

During the match, Willaims seemed to injure her ankle. After another massive loss, her fans came to her side on social media, reiterating that their GOAT was hurt.
