A fall at the beginning of the second set and a call to the physiotherapist to put an imposing strap on his right ankle and consolidate all with a soft splint. This is the main fright known by Serena Williams in her eighth final against Croatia's Petra Martic (No. 22). For the rest, even if she did not always shine, Serena Williams had so much margin compared to her opponent that she did not need to force her talent. There was this break conceded early in the game, but it was erased in stride. The suspense will have been almost absent from this match.
Qualified for the quarter-finals in just an hour and a half (6-3, 6-4), Serena Williams will be opposed to the Chinese Qiang Wang, the late Ashleigh Barty.
