Day 5; Serena Moves On

In the next set Serena Williams started with a revenge of winners, and hardly losing any points on serve, she was able to serve out that set by 6-3. She only lost 2 points on her 1st serve, and hitted 3 aces.
The third set was a bit mixed, with Serena perfectly serving, but making a lot more errors on the return games. Alizé Cornet was getting frustrated and tired in the end, shouting a few ” merde “ swears right up in the air. Serena won the match when Alizé Cornet hitted a forehand long.
[4] Serena Williams d. [15] Alizé Cornet 36 63 64 in 1h54.
