Venus Williams battled heat, gusty winds and a tough opponent in Canadian Rebecca Marino, but pulled out a 7-6, 6-3 victory in the second round of the 2010 U.S. Open Wednesday. Marino's forehand was deadly early in the match, but she seemed to falter after dropping the first-set tiebreaker 7-3.
The third-seeded Williams did seem a bit uncomfortable at the outset. ESPN's Pam Shriver kept talking about Venus' wardrobe malfunction (I guess a string or something was loose on her shirt). In the end, it didn't matter. Williams only made 12 unforced errors the entire match.
She'll take on Mandy Minella of Luxembourg in the third round.
