\n Even in an almost empty Arthur Ashe Stadium, Serena Williams\u2019 serve was still awesome.<\/p>\n

After a shaky start, when she was broken on her first service game<\/a>, Williams bore down and punished 13 aces to post a 7-5, 6-3, first-round victory over American Kristie Ahn on Tuesday at the fan-less U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t completely barren at Ashe. There were about 40 or so people scattered about in the 23,500-seat stadium, including Williams\u2019 coach, Patrick Mourataglu, in the first row behind the baseline, and her husband, Alexis Ohanian.<\/p>\n

After losing in the early rounds of two Open tuneups, this was a relieving performance for Williams, who is now six wins away from tying Margaret Court with 24 Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n

Williams captured her 102nd Open match to break Chris Evert\u2019s mark. Ahn, who is from Englewood, N.J., gave Williams a fight for a set before wearing down. Williams is 20-0 in first-round Open matches.<\/p>\n

Wearing a black face mask, Williams said on court after the victory: \u201c I was really happ<\/a>y how I fought for every point. I just tried to get my Serena focus back.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

There were a few more seats filled for Williams than for any other Ashe match \u2014 many of them stadium workers wanting to see the 38-year-old legend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s quiet but it\u2019s such a big stadium,\u2019\u2019 Williams said. \u201cThere\u2019s [fan] screens and it\u2019s a Grand Slam. I still am as passionate and intense out there. I love my job and love what I do. One of these days, it\u2019s going to end, [but] I love being out here.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Williams\u2019 sister, 40-year-old Venus Williams, was next up at Ashe Stadium as the first match of the night card.<\/p>\n

Serena, was serving at 4-4 in the first set and faced a critical break point at 30-40. She pounded out two straight aces, after which she clenched her fist and then delivered a service winner off the tip of Ahn\u2019s racket.<\/p>\n

Williams won 85 percent of her first serves (33 of 39) as Ahn didn\u2019t have enough weapons to counter.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
