面对此前从未赢过的美国悍将小威廉姆斯,中国金花郑洁尽管一度看到希望,但最终还是未能改写记录。温网女单第三轮比赛30日继续进行,郑洁在领先一盘的大好局面下惨遭对手逆转,无缘16强。
Day six of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships featured a tough three-set battle in women's singles. Sixth seed Serena Williams looked to extend her 5-0 won-loss record over Chinese player Zheng Jie.
And this looked like a physical mis-match on the surface, but Zheng more than held her own in the first set. She topped Serena 7-6 in the opener. But Williams was back at her brutal best in the second,she took it 6-2 to level the match. Williams held the momentum, but Zheng played solid tennis in a dramatic decider.
It went down to the 15th game of the set. Williams finally gained the decisive service break and served-out. She coverted her third match point to walk-off with the win, 6-7, 6-2, 9-7. Serena served a total of 23 aces, a new record for a women’s match at Wimbledon, and advances to the fourth round.
