MASON, Ohio<\/span> Aug 15 (Reuters) – Venus Williams fought back
\nfrom a set down to beat South Africa’s Chanelle Scheepers 2-6
\n6-3 6-2 as the top seeds advanced with little trouble at the
\nCincinnati Open on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams will now meet Italian Sara Errani for a
\nquarter-final berth following the seventh seed’s 6-4 6-4 win
\nover Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For the second successive day Williams needed three sets but
\nshe was glad with the way she recovered from a rusty opening<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I made so many errors. She’s one of those players that puts
\na lot of balls in the court, makes you play a lot of shots and I
\nwasn’t getting them in the court. It was good to turn it
\naround,” said Williams.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Top seed Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Sweden’s Sofia
\nArvidsson 6-4 6-3 to book her place in the third round.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Pole Radwanska, playing in her first premier event as a top
\nseed, said she was pleased with how she had settled in to the
\nevent.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“The first match is always the most difficult. Every week we
\nplay on different surfaces with different balls and in different
\nconditions. I’m just happy I went through, especially in two
\nsets, because of the heat,” she said.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Radwanska will next face Sloane Stephens after the American
\nbeat fellow wildcard entrant Camila Giorgi of Italy 6-2 6-1 in
\nan hour.
