I just said get a game and next thing I know I won the second set." Williams was not helping herself with sluggish footwork and a host of unforced errors, and Stephens broke serve twice in a one-sided first set. Williams needed to improve quickly and she did, finding more first serves and hanging with Stephens from the back of the court. While Williams had improved, Stephens' level and intensity had dipped dramatically, and she needed to dig in at the start of the decider. In the last 16, Williams will face Greek 15th seed Maria Sakkari, who was very impressive in a 6-3 6-1 victory over Amanda Anisimova.
