On Thursday at Stanford University, in the 2nd round of the Bank of the West Classic, 27-year-old top-seeded #2 Serena Williams from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, defeated 26-year-old #52 Melinda Czink from Budapest, Hungary (with a 2nd residence in New York, New York), 6-3, 7-6(7) (photo shown).

Serena said: “I was just off today, and really I’ve been off this whole week. Hopefully I can get on track. In the second set, I just wanted to focus on winning the next point. I made some key errors, although it was good that I ended up winning that sixth game [during the second set] because it helped me at the end…

“[Melinda] served really well, toward the end especially, and started mixing it up and serving big. I definitely could have returned better, but this was still good practice… I would have been fine going three sets. I thought I desperately needed to hold, that way if we did go to three sets, I would at least start out serving. I would have definitely been into it and ready.” tourney quotes.

In the Stanford quarterfinals on Friday, Serena will play 25-year-old #21 Samantha Stosur from Gold Coast, Australia. They have met only twice before, both times on hardcourts. In the 2nd round of the Beijing Olympics last year, Serena defeated Samantha 6-2, 6-0. But early this year, in the 1st round in Sydney, the score was much closer, as Serena won 6-3, 6(4)-7, 7-5.

Serena said: “[Samantha] has improved by leaps and bounds, and I just hope I can stay in the match. Hopefully I will be playing a little better tomorrow.”

BMW Open Results 2006

One of the finalists in the 2003 BMW Open Jarkko Nieminen from Finland advanced to the quarterfinals of the same tournament this year when he defeated his German opponent Alexander Waske 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 on Wednesday.

Nieminen will be playing the next BMW Open match against Robin Vik of the Czech Republic to define who will be part of the semifinals. This one is the sixth quarterfinal of the season for the left-handed Nieminen, who has improved 21- 9 in the present season.

Robin Vik defeated Juan Monaco of Argentina 7-6 (7-3), 4-6, 6-4. If Vik reaches this semifinal, it would be his first one of the year.

Also Kristof Vliegen (Belgium) advanced when he beat Robin Soderling (Sweden) 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. Vliegen has ascended more than 100 spaces in the ATP rankings in less than a year. This year’s 18 wins surpass the total triumphs he took home in the past two seasons combined (17).

The next match for Vliegen will be with Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, who beat Jan Hernych of the Czech Republic 3-6, 6-0, 7-5.
