Maybe looking back it was indeed not such a surprise.

Serena was relatively unimpressive in her R1 win vs Bertens and only beat Andreescu in the QF on countback.

Generally seems she just hasn't reacted well to fairly hostile crowds and just kind of unwound.

Bencic may be thinking what if, having just lost to Svitolina on countback in R1 before Elina eased past Harriet in the QF.

Don't forget that players on their day  in Grand Slams can beat Serena as Ka. Pliskova and Sonia Kenin  illustrated in 2019. Of course in 2020 Kenin won Australia.

Yes I think saying that the forum is generally anti-Serena is pushing it far too far. Certainly I think the amount of respect Serena gets is far greater and more deserved than that accorded to someone like Sharapova. But in terms of this match, it's been a while since Serena won a grand slam and she is passed her best, especially with her irregular schedule. In fact it's sad for her she won't get to Wimbledon this year as it might have been her best chance to eventually get that record win...
