Serena Survives Career-Longest Match in Madrid

World #1 Serena Williams played for 3 hours 26 minutes in Madrid against Vera Dushevina, surviving a match point to win 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) to reach the third round of the clay-court warm-up for Roland Garros.

Her sister Venus Williams had an easier time of it with another Vera, beating Vera Zvonareva 7-5 6-3. Venus can end the tournament ranked at #2 in the world as long as Caroline Wozniacki does not make the semifinals.
