US Open: Serena Williams survives in three sets against Caty McNally

“She showed no fear. It’s good to see so many young players doing so, so well.”—

Serena Williams

Caty McNally, 17, tested Serena Williams in the second round, but the veteran champion prevailed at the literal end of the day, 5-7, 6-3, 6-1:

Serena is the only woman in the Open Era with a winning record after dropping the 1st set.

Serena Williams advances to the round of 32 by holding off a 17-year-old who wasn’t born when Williams won her first US Open, in 1999.
