It's deja vu all over again for Serena Williams.

Serena cleared her first major hurdle of the 2022 US Open on Wednesday, knocking off world No. 2 ranked Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 in the second round at Flushing Meadows.

Williams looked in vintage form in the match: Behind the strength of a surgical forehand and 11 aces, the 40-year-old kept her singles swan song playing into Friday night, when she'll take on unseeded Ajla Tomljanović. The matchup between the two will mark the first on-court meeting.

That could be cause for intimidation for Tomljanovic; Williams, playing and winning at Arthur Ashe Stadium, says she's already cleared the mental block of playing.

"I just feel like I've had a big red X on my back since I won the US Open in '99 and it's been there my entire career. … But here, it's different. I feel like I've already won, figuratively and mentally."
