(CNN) Back against the wall against her sister Venus in grueling conditions, Serena Williams finally found her game. The 23-time major tennis champion, playing in only her first event since February, rallied back from a break down in the final set to overcome her sister, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the second round of the inaugural Top Seed Open in Lexington, Kentucky. "Last couple of games, I just wanted to win because I have been losing a lot of those tight sets," Serena, who had been down 4-2 in the final set, said in a post-match interview. "So I said 'I really need to try to win this'... just for my game and my confidence, so I just tried to focus on those last two games," added the former top-ranked American, who extended her lead over her older sister to 19-12 in career meetings on a hot and humid day. Serena Williams moved to the quarterfinals of her first tournament since early February.
