Their match will be played in the afternoon block, beginning at 2 p.m. ET. The match will be broadcast by Tennis Channel, which will also have coverage of all the big matches on the day. The match will also be live streamed online via ESPN3.
Serena returned to professional play with the beginning of this tournament, and bested Zarina Diyas in the opening round. It was a straight-set win for Williams, 7-5, 6-3, but wasn’t an easy match by any means. She’s lost some lateral speed and power, but did seem to get stronger as the match progressed.
In the second round, she faced Kiki Bertens, the 29th seed, and also won in straight sets, 7-6(5), 7-5. That match required a tiebreak in the first set, but Williams held on and made all the right shots when they were needed most.
Venus had a bye in the first round due to being the eighth seed. She beat Sorona Cirstea in her second-round match, also in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. Below is all you need to know to watch Monday.
