But I&#8217;m happy about my performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read :<a href=\"tennis-news\/international\/43741-evans-knocks-out-tomic-advances-to-australian-open\">Evans knocks out Tomic, advances to Australian Open<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kerber had been made to battle in her first two matches, getting stretched to three sets by both Lesia Tsurenko and Carina Witthoeft.<\/p>\n<p>The German was much faster out of the gates on Friday, winning the first set in 21 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking round by round, and I&#8217;m ready for every single match every single day. This is what counts, because I know that this is the only way to play good tennis, especially in these two weeks,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>No.8 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova emerged victorious in a titanic three-setter against former No.1 Jelena Jankovic, 6-4, 5-7, 9-7, to reach the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was crazy,&#8221; Kuznetsova admitted after the match. &#8220;I was up set and 4-1 with a double break. Then I found myself down 3-0 and 15-40 on my serve in&nbsp;third set. It was a bit insane, but it&#8217;s a tennis match, anything can happen; it&#8217;s never done until you shake the hand,&#8221; .<\/p>\n<p>Veteran Venus Williams achieved her third win at the Australian Open, without conceding a single set, by beating China&#8217;s Duan Ying-Ying 6-1, 6- 0. The 36-year-old still has not conceded a set in three games and defeated Duan Ying-Ying in 58 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 10th time that Venus has qualified for the fourth round at the Australian Open. She will face the winner between Australian Ashleigh Barty and German Mona Barthel.<\/p>\n<p>Coco Vandeweghe advanced to the round of 16 at the tournament when she recovered from an early break in the third set to beat Eugenie Bouchard 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-31766\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Kerbertennis.JPG\" width=\"520\" height=\"346\" alt=\"Kerbertennis\" style=\"margin-right: 8px;
