US Open: Serena not satisfied with second-round performance

"I feel like I made a lot of errors", Williams said.

Not sure? There's plenty of evidence. She added later that it was nice to not need to wait out a rain delay.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion takes on Sweden's Johanna Larsson in search of a place in the round of 16 on Saturday, and a 307th Grand Slam match win would lift her past Martina Navratilova for the most in the Open Era. After all, Williams delivered 13 aces with serves that reached 121 miles per hour. She had a half-dozen aces, bringing her total this week to 31. She compiled a 24-5 total edge in winners.

"I definitely think there is a difference between the way male and female athletes are treated", she said. But for her, the result still wasn't ideal.

"There is no pain". "Obviously I don't feel like I'm Serena out there yet, but hopefully she'll come around the second week". "It s something I didn t even know about until Wimbledon - it was like a new goal. So, yeah, that's what I think of her". "She serves normal. At practice, she serves the quantity that we usually do, full power", Mouratoglou said. "So I don't see any problem. I know it's under control now".

Venus Williams of the United States of America after beating Laura Siegemund of Germany on day six of the 2016 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Williams also played a three-setter against Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the third round a year ago.

With the new high-tech retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium slammed shut because of persistent rain, Williams swept past American compatriot Vania King 6-3 6-3 in a tidy 65 minutes to ease into the third round. Murray will now face Grigor "Baby Federer" Dimitrov in the round of 16.

Both teams captured victories in Week 1, with the Packers beating the Jaguars 27-23, and the Vikings defeating the Titans 25-16. He's back, which will give the offense an opportunity to make a very loud statement of its own Sunday night.

Murray takes on Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, a 6-4, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 victor over Portugal´s Joao Sousa.

The six-time US Open champion hasn't lost a set at this year's tournament.

Dominic Thiem serves on his way to a a win over Pablo Carreno Busta. Shvedova is yet to beat Williams in four attempts.

Serena Williams has brushed aside Johanna Larsson in the third round of the US Open to remain on course for her seventh title on home soil.

On Saturday, Williams expended nearly as much energy playing advocate as she did in her hourlong win over Larsson. Can she possibly produce the type of tennis that earned her the three match points against Radwanska at the All England Club? "But I think Serena is even more unsafe". She's serving pretty well both serves, playing aggressive on the return.

"You're out there, you're trying to find ways to win", Larsson said, "but sometimes, it's just not happening".

Andy Murray's hard-fought 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 win over Paolo Lorenzi meant that for the first time in the Open era, there will be two British men in the round of 16 stage. That will break a tie Williams has with Chris Evert for most-ever U.S. Open wins.
