Players Under the Microscope / Editor / 02 April 2007 /

Serena Williams has admitted that she would struggle to repeat her comeback victory over Justine Henin in the final of the Sony Ericsson Open.

The US star looked dead and buried after losing the first set 6-0 and slipping a break behind in the second, but she rallied to break back and saved two match points before running out a 0-6 7-5 6-3 winner over the Belgian world number one.

Williams capped an amazing comeback by claiming the Australian Open in January after missing the majority of the 2006 season through injury and she showed all her battling qualities on Saturday in Florida to overcome the five-time Grand Slam winner.

Despite all her success over the past decade, Williams feels that her win in Miami is right up there with some of her best achievements, although she doubts whether she would be able to repeat the amazing feat on a bigger stage.

She said: "This ranks pretty high and I don't know if I could come back like that in a championship match. I don't know if I could even do that again.

"But when I get down a part of me plays better. All champions have that. When they get down, you can't hold them down."

Serena will now take some time off while her sister Venus is set to play in the Bausch and Lomb Championships in Florida, along with the likes of Nadia Petrova, Jelena Jankovic, Na Li and Dinara Safina.

The Betfair winner's market has yet to emerge but Venus Williams is sure to be one of the favourites, with a number of the world's best players not on show this week.
