Venus And Serena Through In Melbourne

Not against a player ranked n. Three times former champion swept away Serena William Chinese Meng Yuan opponent 6-3 6-2 on Rod Laver Arena, while Venus beat German Angelique Kerber 6-3 6-3. Williams, seeking her 10th Grand Slam title, won her Australian Open campaign under way Tuesday with a 6-3, 6-2 win over China Meng Yuan, who was all but ducking for cover from an attack of powerful serves, groundstrokes and volleys from the second semi-American. No problem. 123. Serena, 27, was disturbed only by the heat and glare from the court rather than the inexperienced Yuan. Serena William had a slight head cold, was the broiling sun and the wind swirling.
