Venus Williams has reached the third round for the seventh Grand Slam tournament in a row.
The 37-year-old Williams got broken while serving for each set but played well enough to hold off her big-hitting opponent, beating 20-year-old Oceane Dodin of France 7-5, 6-4 at the US Open.
Williams has won two of her seven major titles at Flushing Meadows, in 2000 and 2001.
