Serena Williams 2 for 2 at Wimbledon; wins in singles, mixed

Associated Press  

WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams walked into her news conference at Wimbledon holding her phone, a cold bottle of water and a statistics sheet that reinforced what was clear from watching her third-round singles victory Saturday: She is as close to being back to her best as she’s been in a while. “It’s been an arduous year for me,” said Williams, who had competed only 12 times in 2019 until this week, mostly because of a bothersome left knee that finally is pain-free. “I play pretty good when I’m calm, but also super-intense, just finding the balance in between there,” the 37-year-old Williams said. “That means I need to go to the limit in my service games.” After the traditional middle Sunday off, action resumes Monday with all fourth-round men’s and women’s singles matches. “I hope it’s going to take a special performance from somebody to stop me, not just a mediocre performance.” Nadal, who defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, meets unseeded Joao Sousa next.
