Serena Williams won her first US Open title in 1999 and had reached her second final in New York in 2001 -- both coming before Caty McNally was born.
The 17-year-old initially gave Williams, 37, a scare Wednesday, in the second round of the US Open. But the 23-time major champion prevailed, advancing with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-1 win in one hour, 54 minutes.Williams, seeded eighth in the draw, has never lost to a teenager at the US Open. Her record in the US Open second round improves to 19-0."I survived tonight," Williams said on court to ESPN.
"On Wednesday, McNally did not look at all fazed under the bright lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium, taking the first set after a late break. Williams fought off the teenager in the second set and then went into cruise control, dropping just five points in the third. She won all 12 of her service points in that final set.Williams finished the match with a forceful forehand winner and pumped her fist. She had 32 winners, including 10 aces, to 28 unforced errors.
