French Open: Venus Williams, Justine Henin Advance to Third Round
It didn’t take Venus Williams long to reach the third round at the 2007 French Open and she got there in quick fashion with a 128 mph serve on Wednesday against Ashley Harkleroad.
Williams handled Harkleroad 6-1 in the first set and then had her 5-2 in the second before Ashley broke the American twice to force the tiebreaker. Williams then fought off five set points to take the set 7-6 (10-8) and win the match.
Justine Henin, the top-ranked woman at Roland Garros, had an easier time in her second round match-up. The Belgian easily disposed of Austrian Tamira Paszek in straight sets 7-5, 6-1.
