Mandy Minella

0 comments
Third seeded Venus Williams advanced to the fourth round of the US Open Tennis  At Flushing Meadows in New York by beating word 185th ranked Mandy Minella 6-2, 6-1 on Friday night. Williams is set to meet 16th seed Shahar Peer of Israel in the next round.

Williams cruised to an easy third round win over the 24-year old Minella, a qualifier from Luxembourg. Mandy Minella has gained some attention as she comes into the US Open winless against players in the top 50 (0-5 career) but she managed to beat No. 34 Tsvetana Pironkova and No. 47 Polona Hercog that advanced her to the third round match against Williams. With Venus knocking her off, it ends a good run for her at the US Open.

Williams is coming off a knee injury but she hardly showed the effects of two months being away from competition. Her match against Peer in the next round should prove to be a tougher test for her.
