New York- Serena Williams advances to the next round defeating Kristie Ahn 7-7-6-2, 6-0

Williams had to dig herself out of a two hole deficit to get herself back in the game. Ahn let Williams back in the game with a couple of unforced errors and it seemed like Williams was going to take full control of the game. The first match had to be decided by a tie breaker in which Williams won and took the set 7-7-6-2
