Let’s wait for tomorrow. SERENA
After the match, the world no.1 commented “I’m going to have to wait until tomorrow to see; I haven’t been able to play much since Wimbledon, but I was just happy to make it out here. Every day from here on out, I’ll see how it goes.”
Next vs. King
Serena will play Vania King in the next round. The head to head is 1-0 for Serena that has conceded just one game to Vania, and that was also in the US Open 2nd round in 2014.
