Venus gave her everything in the match and it was just a few points that won her this match and put beyond doubt that Venus is back.
Victoria Azarenka beat Heather Watson in straight sets and Heather was distinctly flat and looked completely overwhelmed by the occasion.
Victoria is just returning from injury and it would have been good time for Heather to beat her.
But Heather did not take her chance and proceeded to lose the match in straight sets. To be fair Heather did well to reach the third round and is still on a steep learning curve.
Serena Williams beat Lucie Safarova in straight sets and to be honest never looked like she was in danger of losing this match and stays on course for retaining her title.
The shock result of the day was Carla Suarez Narravo beating Maria Sharapova in three sets.
I did not see this result coming and I thought Maria would make it to at least the final so it was surprise result just go show that these days anything can happen in women's tennis.
Agnieszka Radwanska beat Sabine Lisicki in three sets and this was a good for Agnieszka who has had quite a poor year winning no titles.
Beating an in-form player like Sabine should give her much needed confidence to progress in this tournament.
