Venus Williams was beaten in three sets by Magda Linette at the Auckland Classic as the American great gears up to make history at the Australian Open aged 45.
Williams showed glimpses of the talent that has brought her seven major singles titles before running out of steam as the 52nd-ranked Linette won 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
Williams received a generous ovation as she left the court and will now head to Hobart for another warm-up event before the first Grand Slam of the year.
