Williams rallies past Petrova by Bren O'Brien Friday, 19 January, 2007 Two-time Australian Open champion Serena Williams has kept her hopes of a third title at Melbourne Park alive with a stirring come-from-behind win over Russian No.5 seed Nadia Petrova on Rod Laver Arena. 兩屆澳網冠軍小威今天對第五種子P娃用一場大逆轉保住他奪得第三個澳網的希望 Williams, the 2003 and 2005 champion, was staring down the barrel of a third-round exit with Petrova one set and a break up in the second. But a combination of Williams' power and Petrova's nervy service game saw the unseeded American rally to take a gripping match. 小威一盤落後 第二盤又被破發 看來準備買單了 但小威卻不願放棄 並藉P娃的緊張破回 The current world No.81 was in early trouble, as Petrova grabbed two first-set service breaks to sew up the opener in just 29 minutes. Williams responded to grab a 3-0 advantage in the second, but just as she looked set to get back in the game, Petrova won the next five games to take a stranglehold on the match. 小威第一盤麻煩不小 被兩度破發 才29分鐘就輸了 第二盤一開始拿到3-0領先 但就像第一盤一樣 連輸了五局將要出局 But in a decisive period, both women's struggled to hold serve, and Williams managed to level up before a Petrova double fault in the 12th game handed Williams the set. 在這重要關頭 兩個人都很難保發 但小威提升自己的表現 並藉P娃雙誤拿下第二盤 Williams got the first break of the third, but Petrova broke back immediately. But the Russian again faltered, losing her serve, and giving Williams the opening she needed to seal the match. 小威第三盤一開始就破發 但P娃馬上破回 但P娃再度動搖了 讓小威破發並拿下比賽 Match Facts ‧ There were 21 aces for the match, 11 from Williams 10 from Petrova 本場總共21個ACE 小威11個 P娃10個 ‧ Despite losing, Petrova won more points than Williams, 89 to 84 P娃雖然輸球 但他得分89分多過小威的84分 ‧ Williams had 39 unforced errors, but 27 winners 小威有39個失誤 但也有27個致勝球 ‧ There were ten breaks of serve, five to each player 雙方各破對手五個發球局 ‧ Both players won less than 60 per cent of points on their own serve, Williams 54, and Petrova 58 兩位選手都不能在發球拿下超過60% 小威發球得分率54% P娃58% -- --
