World No 1 Serena Williams was rolling on Saturday, even before she got to her third-round match against Ayumi Morita at the Miami ATP Masters and WTA tournament. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/mar/serena.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 363px;" /> Serena Williams returns to Ayumi Morita. Pic/AFP The American, seeking a record sixth Miami WTA crown, resorted to some unfamiliar transportation &mdash; a bicycle &mdash; to beat the traffic into Key Biscayne and make her match. &ldquo;The traffic was crazy and everyone was like, I have been here for an hour and I&rsquo;m staying eight minutes away,&rdquo; Williams said after her 6-3, 6-3 win. &ldquo;They were in the traffic for an hour. I&rsquo;m like, &lsquo;OK, I&rsquo;m not going to make my match if I don&rsquo;t get there,&rsquo;&rdquo; she added. She asked hotel staff for a golf cart, but since they didn&rsquo;t have one, she had to make do with a bicycle. &ldquo;It was probably one of my best memories ever I think, riding a bike to a match. That&rsquo;s pretty cool,&rdquo; said Williams. Maybe the unfamiliar exercise accounted for her slow start against Japan&rsquo;s Morita, who broke Williams in the second game en route to a 3-0 lead. Williams was back on track soon enough, winning seven straight games to take the first set 6-3 and hold her serve in the opening game of the second. She gained the only advantage she needed with a break for 4-2 in the second. Serving for the match at 5-3, she gave herself a match point with her seventh ace and polished it off with a service winner. &mdash; AFP Other Results &gt;&gt; u00a0Andy Murray (2) bt Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-1 &gt;&gt; Tomas Berdych (4) bt Daniel Gimeno-Traver 5-7, 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 &gt;&gt; Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (6) bt Viktor Troicki 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 &gt;&gt; Li Na (5) bt Varvara Lepchenko 6-2, 6-4 &gt;&gt; Agnieszka Radwanska (4) bt M Rybarikova 7-6 (7/5), 2-6, 6-3
