Serena Williams was so tired she ordered an espresso mid-match

Serena Williams got off to a slow start by dropping the first set 0-6 to Flavia Pennetta in the Hopman Cup in Australia. The shockingly poor set prompted her to look for a cup of her own. The best part: The Australians obliged!

After some discussion between the umpire and crew a man walked over to Serena to take her order. She asked for a shot of espresso "As black as it gets," after telling the match's umpire that she was dead tired.
