Injured Venus battles through to third round at Australian Open

MELBOURNE: Venus Williams has recovered from an apparent upper thigh injury during a first-set tiebreaker to advance to the third round of the Australian Open with a 6-7 (6), 6-0, 6-4 win over Sandra Zahlavova.

Williams had just lost the tiebreaker when she went to her chair clutching her right side. She appeared to injure herself two shots earlier on a twisting two-hand backhand volley.


After receiving treatment from a trainer and taking a medical timeout, she returned to Rod Laver Arena with her upper right thigh taped and then dominated much of the remainder of the match.

In the fashion department, Williams was wearing a revealing peek-a-boo lattice-style top with a multicolored satiny short skirt.
