Serena Williams opens her title defence with a 6-2 6-4 victory over Amra Sadikovic - it's her 80th win at #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/FDwgDA3fzG— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) 28 June 2016
Reigning champion Serena Williams won her 80th match at Wimbledon, beating Swiss qualifier Amra Sadikovic 6-2 6-4 in the first round.
The scoreline is straightforward, but in the post-match interview
Serena emphasized that she doesn't underestimate her opponents and that
the encounter was not easy. At moments it looked like Serena was not
playing to win the match, but not to lose it, and her serve was off and
slow for her standards, which was quite discussed on Twitter, my
favorite comment being: "Did Serena rent out her serve this year?"
Anyways, a win is a win, and Serena twirled on her way to the net for
a lovely handshake with the 27-year-old Sadikovic, who had retired in
2014 because of financial problems and lack of drive to play tennis,
only to come back 13 months later.
In the second round, Serena is set to face Christina McHale.
