Yuliana Fedak at the WTA Advanta Championships

FedakNovember, 5. Venus Williams needed a third-set tiebreaker to defeat 87th-ranked Yuliana Fedak, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (4) in the second round of the Advanta Tennis Championships on Thursday night. Williams, the fifth seed, led 5-4 in the first set but Fedak fought off six set points before losing on the game's eighth deuce. Fedak easily won the second set and opened a 3-1 lead in the third, but Williams fought back for a 5-4 lead. She rallied from 4-2 down in the tiebreaker. `

`Girls like (Fedak) come out and have nothing to lose so they go for broke,'' Williams said. ``I don't know if anyone else I'll play in this tournament will play at this high a level.''

Though she had never played against Williams, it didn't take Fedak long in the match before she realized she could compete with the former world No.1. "I realized I could play with her after the first couple of games," Fedak said. "I haven't had so many matches this year especially against top players. This was a great way to end the year. It makes me really look forward to next year."
