Venus Williams' hopes of securing a title on her return from injury were ended yesterday as she was beaten by Daniela Hantuchova in the quarter-finals of the AEGON International at Eastbourne.
Williams, who has this week returned to the game after a spell on the sidelines with knee and hip problems, had impressed in reaching the last eight but her Slovakian opponent proved too strong as she secured a 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 success.
The American, seeded 23 for Wimbledon, struggled badly during the opening set and conceded two breaks of serve to lose it 6-2.
