Venus Williams through despite bee interference
Venus Williams made it into the second round, but not without some problems.
“I was about to serve. I felt something on my leg. It was a bee, a big old bumblebee,” said Williams.
“I didn’t want it to sting me. Then I ended up losing that service game, so I guess the bumblebee got me off to a bad start.” AFP
She defeated Naomi Cavaday 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 and will meet Anne Keothavong next.
