Serena Williams survives Kaja Juvan scare to reach round three

Serena Williams recovered from losing the first set against qualifier Kaja Juvan to reach the third round at Wimbledon.

The seven-time winner found her range at the start of the second set and, in front of the watching Duchess of Sussex, went on to beat the 18-year-old Slovenian 2-6 6-2 6-4.

After an error-strewn first set Williams rediscovered her consistency, and in doing so forced more mistakes from her young opponent.

A break in the first game settled the American, and a second break brought the match level.

The 23-time grand-slam winner, who has a doubles date with Andy Murray on Friday, was by now in the ascendancy.

Juvan, ranked 133 in the world, bravely clung on in the decider but a solitary break saw Williams safely through.
