Serena Williams Advances to Second Round in Toronto

Three-time winner, Serena Williams has advanced into the Toronto Open second round with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Spain’s Nuria Parrizas Diaz while Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina and Simona Halep also advanced.

Williams, in only her second singles match since returning to action at Wimbledon in June and losing to Harmony Tan after a yearlong absence from competition, was forced to dig deep during a nearly two-hour match played in hot and humid conditions.

One of 14 major winners in the main draw of an event that is a tune-up for the US Open, Williams clinched the opener on her fourth set point with a vintage smash that Parrizas Diaz had no chance of returning.

Up next for Williams will be either Olympic champion Belinda Bencic, the 12th seed, or Czech Tereza Martincova.
