French Open 2009 Round 1 Results: Serena Williams Survives Upset Bid from Klara Zakopalova to Advance

Serena Williams, in search of her 11th career Grand Slam singles title, got off to a rough start at the French Open on Tuesday but the American managed to survive a determined Klara Zakopalova, knocking off the Czech 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-4 at Roland Garros.

 

Williams struggled all day with her serve as she placed just 55 percent of her first offerings in play and had four double-faults. She did manage to collect five aces and had little trouble handling Zakopalova’s serve, breaking her on seven of 20 chances.

 

Williams has achieved a career Grand Slam with four titles at the Australian Open (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009), three titles at the U.S. Open (1999, 2002, 2008), two at Wimbledon (2002, 2003) and a French Open title (2002).
