Serena avoids double family upset 1/5
Serena Williams avoided following
sister Venus out of the tournament as
she battled to a 6-3 6-7 (1-7) 6-2
first round win over unseeded Li Na.
The defending champion, only seeded
13th this year after injury problems
during 2005, served for the match in
the 10th game of the second set.
But she failed to hold her serve and
was overwhelmed in the tie-break before
hitting back for a hard-earned victory.
"I choked today and I didn't do what I
needed to do," she said.
