Like when he took out a couple of balls in a row that stung him in front of his feet at the beginning of the first set. Like the three straight aces he hit when facing break balls in the second game of the second set.

Williams’ serve – the most powerful seen in women’s tennis – came out strongly in moments of demand and the winner of 23 singles titles in the Grand Slams was in charge of sentencing the duel with her serve.

He faced five break balls and responded with aces on four and another was a serve that was difficult to return.
