The seventh-seeded Williams, wearing a dress with a pink top and dizzying
black-and-white patterned skirt, finished with 26 errors, including 19 in the
second set to give Eleni Daniilidou a chance to come back.
But Daniilidou, cheered on by Melbourne's Greek community the largest outside
Greece had little to threaten the former world No. 1, managing only a single
winner in the first set and seven for the match in losing 6-1, 7-5.
"I didn't have the best rhythm," said Williams, who joined sister Serena in
the second round. "I had a string of errors, especially in that second set."
That set was mostly forgettable, with seven service breaks and few sequences
for the highlight reels. Still, Williams won the last two to avoid a third set.
"I think when it really mattered, at 5-5 ... I really picked up my game," she
said. "I'm not necessarily worried."
When told that her Diane Von Furstenburg design was a little tough on the
eyes, Williams offered a bit of advice: "Focus on one print, one piece."
