US Open: Serena Williams swansong echoes into the third round

Serena Williams’ Little Black Dress packed more shine than the New York night. Just as well then as the American superstar let some of that sizzle rub off on her play. The 23-time major winner thumped 38 winners en route to a 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 second-round win over the world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit. The Estonian powerhouse repeatedly pushed the 40-year-old onto the backfoot, but Serena reached and stretched, chased and charged the Arthur Ashe Stadium, using the two hours and 27 minutes in the middle to underline that her defence was as deep as her offence was destructive. Next up for Serena and her diamond-encrusted sparkle is the Aussie world No. 46 Ajla Tomljanovic.
