Williams sisters dominate at Australian Open

Melbourne: The Williams sisters Serena and Venus picked up rather easy first-round wins Tuesday at the Australian Open.

Seeded sixth, Venus, who has never won the Aussie Open, got off to a solid start with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over Germany’s Angelique Kerber.
At the same time, Second-seeded Serena needed just 75 minutes to win, as the three-time Melbourne champion took out China’s Yuan Meng, 6-3, 6-2.
Serena, who has three Australian Open championships (2003, ‘05 and ‘07), overcame 31 unforced errors and limited her opponent to six winners to advance on a hot day at Melbourne Park.
