• Match report: Czech pair knock out Williams sisters

First set: *Williams/Williams 3-2 Noskova/Hradecka (* Denotes servers)

Venus serves. The Americans leap out to a 30-0 lead and consolidate it with a punishing serve into the body that's too good for Noskova. A nice moment for the teenager next though as she exchanges a series of fiery forehands with Venus, just 25 years her senior. She wins the point too and we're soon at deuce. A double fault brings up break point for the Czechs, which Venus saves with a fine serve that Hradecka floats long. Venus hits another double fault - her serve is a little erratic today - but eventually it's another Williams hold.
