Serena Williams is coming back after her odd performance at Wimbledon and she won her first match since losing in England, beating Karolina Pliskova in straight sets to advance in the Bank of the West Classic. Williams is now into the next round and she is through to the quarterfinals after speeding through the second set and now she faces Ana Ivanovic after she won while only giving up two games and Varvara Lepchenko won against Agnieszka Radwanska to advance.

Williams said that she was feeling good heading into the tournament and that she is excited to get back into action after losing at Wimbledon. Williams said she is focused on being ready for the US Open and now she has the chance to get back in shape after the problems in England. The Open got a new name, as Tommy Haas withdrew from the tournament and now Marcos Baghdatis is in.
