Venus defeats Lisicki in Dubai second round

Question

In a match that will have given Sabine Lisicki a taste of just what it takes to be a champion player, defending champion Venus Williams prevailed 6-2, 6-3 in a high quality match.

Answer 1

Williams faces Olga Govortsova in the third round. The unseeded Govortsova might have upset 14th seed Francesca Schiavone in the second round, but you’d doubt she’d be able to do the same to Venus in the form the third seed displayed against Lisicki.
