Maybe Venus Williams needs that vacation after all.
Williams postponed a week of fun in the Thailand sun to play at the AIG Japan Open. The No.1 seed looked as relaxed as one can be without being on holiday after easily beating Vania King 6-0, 6-4 in the second round Wednesday.
In the postmatch press conference, however, she was a little more uptight when quizzed over her fitness from here on in. Rumor had it that she wasn't feeling tickety-boo after the match.
