the mixed doubles draw with her fellow American Andy Roddick. This is most likely a cry to the US Olympic committee to allow Williams
and Roddick to represent the USA in this summer's Olympics. However the mixed draw was unkind as the Williams/Roddick team is to play
the top seeded team of Mike Bryan of the USA and Kveta Peschke of the Czech Republic.
In round one at the Australian Open singles, Williams beat Tamira Paszek (AUT) 6-3, 6-3. Thursday in the second round,
Williams beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova (CZE) 6-0, 6-4. In the third round, Williams takes on Greta Arn (HUN). Serena could meet
the second seeded Petra Kvitova (CZE) in the semifinals and the defending champion Kim Clijsters of Belgium in the the final.
