Serena Williams and John Isner takes US into Hopman Cup final

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
