Williams wins a thriller

AAP Sunday 11 January 2009

Top seed Serena Williams has won an epic three-set battle against Sam Stosur in the first round of the Medibank International Sydney today.

After world No.1 Williams claimed the opening set 6-3, the Queenslander was broken twice in the second set but broke back both times to claim the set in a tiebreak 7-6(4).

Williams saved four match points on Stosur’s serve and recovered from a break down to win three consecutive games to seal the third set 7-5.

The American narrowly avoided becoming the first top seed to lose in the first round in Sydney since Jennifer Capriati in 2003.
