And with Williams usually coming off worse the longer a rally goes on, the German must fancy her chances.
*Williams 3-5 Kerber
The computer graphics show Kerber's forehand from the back was wide. Love those computer graphics - we've come a long way since the ZX Spectrum.
15-30.
Kerber battles back and holds.
Williams is definitely second best at the moment, in every aspect.

It's 15-30.
Williams is starting to shut the door on Kerber's returns - coming into the net more often.

Strong hold.
Plan B Kerber?
*Williams 2-2 Kerber
Now then.
Two errors from Kerber. 0-30.
Followed by a sensational pick-up from Williams - extraordinary athleticism from the American from wide right.
Break time.
She takes the first chance as the German again struggles with a Williams return.

We assume because Serena Williams has 23 Grand Slam titles and seven of them here that she's not going to be nervous. But of course she will be.

An easy volley here at the net. Noooooooo!
Williams inexplicably finds the netting.
However, the 36-year-old finally manages to get over the line at the second time of asking.
Will she now be able to break Kerber?
Williams 0-2 Kerber*
Cowabunga!
Kerber sends an angled forehand past Williams. 0-15.
But...but... then Williams forces two errors from the German. Finally, it looks like the American will get a game on the board.
Or will she?
Williams 0-2 Kerber*
Kerbs is on top here. Coming in mid-court to punch away anything Williams fires back at her.
That was an easy hold to 15 for the 11th seed.
Williams 0-1 Kerber*
John McEnroe

That type of extended rally is was Kerber is hoping for, trying to test Serena's endurance. Just what the doctor called for.

Wow!
What a rally!
Kerber is a superb returner, as we all know, and breaks after Williams finds the top of the net with a forehand out wide right.
What have you got Williams?

Kerber has to keep Serena on the move. When she is stationary and balanced, hitting balls that come at here she is a threat.

Williams positively skipped her way to the baseline to start the warm-up. Will she keep that movement up in the match? Kerber looks calm and not daunted by the prospect of facing the overwhelming favourite.
