Tim will here shortly. In the meantime here’s a report on Serena’s last match:
Serena Williams produced her second successive great escape at this year’s French Open as she beat the young American Sloane Stephens 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals of the French Open and stay on track, just, for a 20th grand slam title.
Having dropped the first set to her fellow American with a slew of unforced errors, the world No1 shook herself out of her lethargy in the nick of time to snatch the second set and then held firm in the third to set up a clash with Italy’s Sara Errani.
