Venus wins, Bencic falls
Print Edition
VENUS Williams avoided another early exit with a routine win over fellow American Alison Riske at the Volvo Car Open in South Carolina while Swiss second seed Belinda Bencic was ousted by Russian Elena Vesnina.
Third seed Williams, who had a first-round bye after arriving in Charleston having lost the opening match in four of the five events she has played in 2016, breezed by Riske 6-4, 6-2 on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old Williams, in search of her 50th WTA title, will next face Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva on the unique green claycourts of Charleston for a spot in the quarterfinals.
World No. 10 Bencic had no answer for Vesnina, who won 6-1, 6-1 in 56 minutes.
Others reaching the third round were Italian fifth seed Sara Errani and American seventh seed Sloane Stephens.
