On Wednesday, No. 1-ranked Serena Williams extended her career-high winning streak to 26 matches and improved to 69-3 since a first-round loss at the French Open a year ago by beating French wild-card entry Caroline Garcia 6-1, 6-2.
She has bounced back from a shock second-round loss to British teenager Laura Robson at January's Australian Open and a surprise defeat by French wild-card entry Kristina Mladenovic at the Paris Open, winning both matches as the Czechs thrashed Australia in the first match of their Fed Cup title defense.
