On Thursday at Stanford University, in the 2nd round of the Bank of the West Classic, 27-year-old top-seeded #2 Serena Williams from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, defeated 26-year-old #52 Melinda Czink from Budapest, Hungary (with a 2nd residence in New York, New York), 6-3, 7-6(7) (photo shown).

Serena said: “I was just off today, and really I’ve been off this whole week. Hopefully I can get on track. In the second set, I just wanted to focus on winning the next point. I made some key errors, although it was good that I ended up winning that sixth game [during the second set] because it helped me at the end…

“[Melinda] served really well, toward the end especially, and started mixing it up and serving big. I definitely could have returned better, but this was still good practice… I would have been fine going three sets. I thought I desperately needed to hold, that way if we did go to three sets, I would at least start out serving. I would have definitely been into it and ready.” tourney quotes.

In the Stanford quarterfinals on Friday, Serena will play 25-year-old #21 Samantha Stosur from Gold Coast, Australia. They have met only twice before, both times on hardcourts. In the 2nd round of the Beijing Olympics last year, Serena defeated Samantha 6-2, 6-0. But early this year, in the 1st round in Sydney, the score was much closer, as Serena won 6-3, 6(4)-7, 7-5.

Serena said: “[Samantha] has improved by leaps and bounds, and I just hope I can stay in the match. Hopefully I will be playing a little better tomorrow.”
