Serena Williams has the chance to make Hopman Cup history after powering the US into Saturday’s final of the mixed-teams event.
Needing to win their tie against the Czech Republic 3-0 in order to
qualify for the decider, the US shot out to a 2-0 lead thanks to singles
wins by Williams and John Isner.
Williams overcame the wobbles in the second set to beat Lucie
Safarova 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, before Isner defeated Adam Pavlasek 7-6, 6-2 at
Perth Arena.
The Czech Republic needed only one rubber win to reach Saturday’s
final, but the US pipped them courtesy of a 6-3, 6-3 triumph in the
doubles.
Williams now has the chance to become the first person to win three
Hopman Cup titles, with the US to take on either Poland, France or
Britain in the final. ...TheGuardian
