A good second round for Venus Williams and Andrea Petkovic.
Venus
The American defeated world no.77 Chanelle Scheepers 7-5 7-5 after being down in both sets (1-3 and 1-4).
“She was playing so well, but the good thing is that when I get behind, I give even more effort and get even more focused. I’ve been playing well from behind lately, which is something you have to be able to do to win big matches, because you’re not always going to be ahead out there” commented Venus
The American will now play Genie Bouchard in the 3rd round. Head to head is 1-0 for the American.
Petkovic
Andrea had a rather nasty and quick win against Lourdes Dominiguez-Lino in just 49 minutes. The German didn’t concede a single set to the Spaniard.
In the next round Petkovic will play her compatriot Sabine Lisicki for the first time.
