Serena Williams gave the celebrity-laden US Open audience to see her play again at Arthur Ashe Stadium a taste of her best, winning in the third set by beating world number two Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4-7), 2-6, 6- 2. The victory in two hours and 27 minutes sees Williams, who have announced their intention to quit tennis after the tournament, move on to the third round where they will face Australian world number 46 Ajla Tomjlanovic.
