Wimbledon 2012: Serena Williams beats Jie Zheng – advances
Sunday, July 1, 2012
Williams briefly locked on Zheng’s serve in the second set, sweeping the final 13 points to even the match.
In the last set, Williams overcame a love-40 deficit to hold for 2-all. Two games later, when she bounced a kick second serve over her opponent’s head for an ace, Zheng managed a laugh.
Later in the set Williams won 14 consecutive service points, including three aces in one game to reach 7-all. She held 18 times and lost only 18 of 98 service points.
“It’s a tough match, because she has big serve,” Zheng said. “It’s very difficult against her on the grass court.”
