A funny moment came out of an otherwise routine first-round victory by Serena Williams who handily beat Andrea Hlavackova 6-2, 6-3 at Roland Garros on Tuesday.
Watch as a Hlavackova lob takes an unexpected turn towards her opponent, frightening Williams. Luckily, the world No. 1 was able to laugh off the incident and will move on to face 103rd-ranked Anna-Lena Friedsam in the second round.
What gave @serenawilliams a good chuckle on the court? #RG15 #eyesontheprize
