Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens did their best impression of surfing on the tennis court at Holua Tennis Center on Saturday.
The American duo rode tide-turning waves of momentum to victory against Poland on the first day of the Fed Cup. Williams defeated Paula Kania 7-5, 6-2, and Stephens beat Magda Linette 6-2, 6-4 to give the U.S. a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five match series.
