In other news,Venus and Serena Williams defeated the German team of Angelique Kerber and Sabine Lisicki 7-5 6-2. They will face the #2 seeded team from Italy Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci.
Surprisingly, Serena has decided NOT to compete in the mixed doubles competition, instead deferring to the doubles specialists on the American team, Lisa Raymond and Liezel Huber, the #1 women's doubles team in the world, who will play with the men's doubles team, Mike and Bob Bryan. Huber will play with the lefty Bob Bryan, while Raymond will play with Mike.
Serena had said she could not decide whether to play with John Isner or Andy Roddick, but in the end decided that competing in the women's singles and the women's doubles was more than enough.
