Serena beats wind, Giorgi in Auckland first round. MORE:
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Serena Williams kept her cool to win at the ASB Classic in her first singles match of 2020.
When Williams last played the tournament in 2017 she was blown off the court by a boisterous summer wind and unseeded compatriot Madison Brengle in the second round. She left calling Auckland the worst place she had ever played and vowing never to return. Williams attributes part of her outburst to troubles early in her pregnancy.
Williams teamed for the first time with Caroline Wozniacki on Monday night to win her first round doubles.
