PICS : Ruthless Serena Williams

Williams launched her comeback by fighting off two set points to record her first break at 5-3 and broke again at 5-5 to get back on level terms against an unsteady Li.A screaming, fist-pumping Williams, now in top gear, held serve to take the lead for the first time and then added one more break to steal the first set from a crumbling Li, who was now in full meltdown.Williams may have needed a while to warm up on a hot humid afternoon but once on track there seemed little Li could do to derail the 17-times grand slam winner. Li held her opening serve of the second set but a ruthless Williams moved in quickly to deliver the knockout punch roaring through the next five games.
