Washington Kastles marquee player Serena Williams made her only home appearance for the team Tuesday evening, dominating all three of her segments to lead the Kastles to an easy 22-12 win over the Newport Beach Breakers.
Serena Williams won sets in singles over Marie-Eve Pelletier, 5-2, women's doubles with Rennae Stubbs over Julie Ditty and Pelletier, 5-1 and mixed doubles with Leander Paes by a 5-0 count. A sold-out Kastles Stadium crowd of 3000+ greeted the triumphant 2009 Wimbledon women's champion.
After four straight losses to open the WTT season, the Kastles are now riding a five match win streak, four of which were directly propelled by Williams. The Kastles has five more matches left without Williams to ensure a playoff appearance as she has completed her scheduled run with the team.______________________Labels: serena williams, sports, team tennis, washington kastles
