MELBOURNE - Serena Williams admitted she was frustrated and not at her best as she fought off a stubborn Tamara Zidansek to reach the Australian Open third round on Wednesday.

The 38-year-old was never in serious trouble against the 70th-ranked Slovenian Zidansek, winning 6-2, 6-3 at Rod Laver Arena. The 22-year-old Zidansek put up resistance in the second set with Williams twice failing to break when 40-0 up on the Slovenian's serve. Williams finally broke Zidansek's stubborn resolve in the seventh game, getting the break of serve on the way to victory in 78 minutes."I made so many errors in a row and had to battle through my own internal problems," she said.
