Das Team » to perform in the music ensemble

NEW YORK -- Serena Williams called herself Wonder Woman and Superwoman in a joking reference to the hot pink sleeves she was sporting Saturday at the US Open. But she hardly needed superpowers to advance to the round of 16.I feel OK, Williams said after dispatching 47th-ranked Johanna Larsson 6-2, 6-1 in a crisp 60 minutes of third-round tennis. Obviously, I dont feel like Im Serena out there yet, but hopefully shell come around the second week.Quick, neat and uneventful was also good enough to surpass Martina Navratilova and tie Roger Federer for the all-time record of 307 Grand Slam match victories. Reminded of the feat on court afterward, Williams thrust her fist into the air.Actually, it was a really good feeling, I have to say, she said. I was really excited to do that, something I didnt even know about until Wimbledon. I was like, Oh, I have a new goal. That was pretty cool for me. Obviously, I want to keep that number going higher and see what can happen.Carrying a sore right shoulder into the tournament, Serena could benefit from low drama and minimal effort as she pursues the Open-era record of 23 Grand Slam titles, which would surpass Steffi Graf and leave her only one shy of Margaret Court for the all-time mark.At the 2015 Open, Williams played 19 three-set matches, losing only two, but one of those was a semifinal shocker against Roberta Vinci. Williams also played a three-setter against Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the third round last year.After that match, an exhausted Williams sighed, A wins a win, revealing more and more what an emotionally debilitating pursuit the chase for the Grand Slam was becoming.I dont know what to expect, she said wearily, Ive never been on this train. Its different. Its definitely different.The journey has been far less taxing so far this year.After the third round, Serena is 36-5 for 2016, but played only three matches (at the Olympics) between Wimbledon and the US Open, compared to 11 in three tournaments last year with a 51-2 record.For whatever its worth, with her Wimbledon title, Williams became just the second woman in tennis history, along with Navratilova, to win the third major of the year after losing in the final of the first two. Navratilova went on to win the Open.So far, so good, said Williams, pronouncing the shoulder definitely solid.Against Larsson, Williams had six aces and won 82 percent of her first-service points, reaching a high speed of 121 mph on her serve while averaging 105 (on her first serve), which has been typical this past week.What she does well and what you cant really see on the screen is that shes mixing her tempo, Larsson said of her groundstrokes. Its not only hard, hard like it might look like. Theres a lot of spin out there. I was impressed it was bouncing up so high. She did that really well. [And] she was placing [her serves] really good and also mixing up what she does on her serve.Williams next plays 52nd-ranked Yaroslava Shvedova; her first seeded opponent would then come in the quarterfinals against either No. 5 Simona Halep, against whom she is 7-1, or No. 11 Carla Suarez Navarro, whom she has beaten in all six tries.Williams will likely be wearing another color but the same sleeves in the outfit she helped design, but no telling if she will have to channel Wonder Woman.It definitely feels like a really powerful character that is strong but yet isnt afraid to be soft at the same time, she said. [Thats] me. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Davis-Webb-Jersey/ . Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the age of 17.
