MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Chinese giantkiller Wang Qiang was left heartbroken by the death of her coach Peter McNamara last year but felt the Australian had shared in her triumph over seven-times champion Serena Williams at Melbourne Park on Friday.

The 27th seed Wang stunned Williams 6-4 6-7(2) 7-5 in a tense third round clash at Rod Laver Arena to consign the American to her earliest exit from the year's first Grand Slam since 2006. [L4N29T0UD]
