Melbourne: Venus Williams rolled back the years to move smoothly into the Australian Open third round yesterday despite an elbow injury that forced her out of the doubles competition.
The 13th seed, an eight-time quarter-finalist or better in Melbourne, won 6-3, 6-2 against Swiss qualifier Stefanie Voegele, who has never been beyond round two. Williams, the oldest player in the women's draw at 36, will next play China's Duan Yingying, who beat American Varvara Lepchenko.
