Top seed Venus Williams fought back from the brink of defeat to progress into the semi-finals of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel tournament with a 4-6 6-3, 7-5 win over Spanish qualifier Laura Pios Tio.
A major upset had looked likely when Pios Tio, ranked 399 in the world, led the defending champion 5-1 and was on serve in the deciding third set.
The 25-year-old could not close out the match however, and nerves got the better of her as Williams reeled off the next six games to sneak through to the last four.
