Defending champion Serena Williams marches into US Open second round
Serena Williams, as befits the great lady of court, began looking for a calendar Grand Slam with a real swat on the first night of the 2015 US Open. This time it was the turn of the poor Russian Vitalia Diatchenko, in his second appearance in New York, almost literally before the best player of modern times in a mere half-hour on the Arthur Ashe stadium.
It was not only unilateral, it was a farce. Diatchenko, who has had surgery on his left tendon, Achilles lollipops served from the beginning and was in tears after winning only five of the 37 points in dispute - as you might expect from someone who retired from his last tournament Vancouver and recently he was in double bageled Stanford. She had her chronically weak ankle tied at 0-5, then turned gently with confusion and sympathy of the crowd is mixed.
No doubt his pain decreased by $ 39,500 in the first round of appearance money and a conciliatory hug Williams network. Whether it should have been even on the court is another matter. Chris Evert at ESPN said that if Diatchenko dragged to court just to play his idol, "it would be a shame."

It was a muted counterpoint to the annual fuss in court to set the tone for the average stronger in tennis as much as a traveling circus a tennis tournament, especially under the stars. Those in the heavens will be deleted when the new retractable roof until next year because the elements dictate, but the stars below are not disappearing yet. The brightest and the most ancient of all, certainly seems to be around for quite a while.
The Serena Slam and its variations do not worry; this is the Serena Open. Your image is everything New York. She is the center of all discussions. Even costumes, war rooms looking more inward whispers about it. The WTA has devoted a page to its mountain of statistics, updated daily.

To set the stop of their remaining six games, these are just some of the statistics of interest to see how a remarkable athlete look history in the face.
Only in 1953 Maureen Connolly, Margaret Court in 1970 and Steffi Graf in 1988 have done what Williams is trying to do here. If you do complete a sweep of the four majors, Graf joins in 22 Slam titles, most of the modern era, and only two all-time record for the Margaret Court. The victory will also give seven titles in the US Open - his fourth consecutive - to pass the mark of six Graf.
She is also trying to become the fourth woman to win five races in a row, with the Court and Martina Navratilova, who each had six in succession, and Graf.
Given that nearly died of blood clots in his lungs in 2011, Williams has won eight of 13 Grand Slam tournaments he has played, all under the direction of Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach and partner since they met in Paris in 2012. Before they met, she had won 523 and lost 107 games, batting .830, as they say here. Since then, his win-loss record is 209-15 of 0.933. Babe Ruth probably never dreamed of those numbers.
The victory on Monday night, as devalued keeps champion and world defending No1 - as it is everywhere the coup - in time for the quarter-final against his fictional sister, date of Venus, previously overcame a fall in the middle of the game to get past Monica Puig in three sets.

The chances that the sisters met at that point in the tournament are monumentally slim as the chances that Serena can not advance past the qualifying Dutch Kiki Bertens in the second round.
Bertens, who beat the one-time prodigy Mirjana Lucic-Baroni Croatia 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 place in the track 12, told The Guardian, "It will be difficult. It is a great player and can hit here year but I'm looking forward. I hope I can enjoy it. I played [Petra] Kvitova in Wimbledon, so I hope we can build on that. "
She revealed the extent of Williams to the Grand Slam was a difficult issue to avoid completely between players, but focus on their own games. "There is great respect for Serena, because what is done is amazing. I think it's the best player in history. He mentally very strong. Even when he's down, she fights for every point. I love to see his work, so aggressive . She's playing unbelievable tennis. I think I can learn a lot from that, because I'm trying to play very aggressive. "

As for his strategy to face the best service in the history of women's tennis, she admitted, "I think sometimes only assume that the ball is, go for it, trying to make some possibilities."
Venus said her sister praised... "She everything he deserved the same time, does not focus on care, which focused on his tennis So she focuses on the important things, and the results show She always He was good. He did well in his first tournament. She defeated three top 10 players in a row and then lost just because she sprained ankle. There is no doubt that took off like a rocket.
"I always thought he was a great player when we were very small, so that's something that was obvious to me long ago and I think [is] just trust When you get into the habit of winning, he gets - .. II no They do know if you call it contagious -. but it becomes a habit that has developed an incredible habit. "
Venus insists that the history that awaits Serena never discussed here, it is hard to believe. "We never talk about tennis. I did not ask her. I guess she knows what she's doing. I mean, what am I going to say? Sometimes it's better not to talk too much and be able to walk into a party with a clear head.
"You do not need too many people saying different things. Before individual always parties give each other advice. But, no, maybe you should ask you. I do not know. I think she feels good actually. I see no sign that makes Do not feel good. "
