Roland Garros Tennis Championships (official website) Location: Paris, France Dates: May 24th-June 6th Images: 2002 | 2002 | 2000 Round Two: Venus Williams def. Jelena Kostanic 6-3, 6-3 (venustennis.com)Venus Williams recovered from 0-3 and won six games in a row to take the first set Thursday against her Croatian opponent. Williams in set two served up 108 and 111 mph serves and hit forehand, backhand and volley winners to power into round three where Venus faces 2000 Roland Garros champion and Frenchwoman Mary Pierce. Pierce was sitting in the stands with her coach scouting the Venus match. Martina Hingis was also seen taking a break from her new job as commentator at Eurosport. Venus debuted an all green version of the dress she wore in round two Thursday. Williams will need to play better to get a win versus Mary Pierce in a match that promises to be a battle of power and big babe tennis. The third round match is set for this weekend; most likely Saturday. Round One: Venus Williams def. Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-2, 6-4 (rolandgarros.com)Venus Williams aggressively strode down the Roland Garros catwalk and scored an impressive first round victory on Tuesday. For her part, Venus counted her good luck in a Kelly green dress that would have fit in nicely in a Dublin pub and stung Thailand’s Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-2 6-4. She didn’t push herself past her limits, but did manage to lace 25 winners in the contest. Venus said she felt a lot of stress when she walked on court. "I really wanted to be in the event and play pain free," Venus said. "My feet were slow. I was slow in general, making some errors. I had to leave that behind me in order to play the match." Venus may not practice on Wednesday in order to avoid further aggravating the injury. She was ridging a 15 match-winning streak going into the Berlin final before she was injured and at the time, was looking like the Roland Garros favorite. Last year, she came into this tournament with an abdominal injury and was upset by Vera Zvonareva. She later said that she made a mistake by even playing. This week, the 2002 finalist knows she must forget about her ankle if she’s to have a serious shot at winning her first title. "I have to have confidence so I can play and not have too much on my mind," Venus said. Check back for the Venus Williams Roland Garros experience.
