Serena Williams has made it into the third round of the U.S. Open in what’s expected to be the final tournament of her career, but she and sister Venus Wililams lost in the first round of doubles, falling Thursday night to the Czech team of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova.

In other matches, top-seeded women’s player Iga Swiatek won in the second round over American Sloane Stephens, but fourth-seeded Paula Bodosa was upset, falling to unseeded Petra Martic.

For the men, Number 2 Rafael Nadal and Number 3 Carlos Alcarez both advanced.
