Venus Williams and Caroline Wozniacki advance to Miami Open third round

Venus Williams eased into the third round of the Miami Open with a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 win over Poland’s Urszula Radwanska while Caroline Wozniacki also progressed.
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
Williams has been away from competition for almost a month but she needed only 66 minutes to beat the younger sister of the 2012 Miami winner, Agnieszka Radwanska. Williams was not at her best, making 24 unforced errors, but she produced 22 winners to Radwanska’s four and her passage to the next round was never in doubt.
“She’s definitely a tricky player. She puts so many balls in play. And it was a little windy today – I just had to keep my feet moving and pray my balls were going in,” said Williams, who will face Sam Stosur in the next round after the Australian defeated the French qualifier Pauline Parmentier 6-1, 3-6, 6-0.
