Venus and Serena Williams won’t be staying the course at Wimbledon this year. Both sisters were sent packing today in the fourth round, with Serena losing to France’s Marion, and Venus defeated by Bulgaria’s Tsvetana Pironkova.

Serena was the first to go, losing 6-3, 7-6 (6) to Bartoli. A few hours later, Venus experienced a major upset during her 6-2, 6-3 loss to Pironkova.

This was an important tournament for both sisters, who have faced health challenges in the past year.

Despite their losses today, we’re proud of Venus and Serena’s courageous comeback!
