Venus Williams has battled back from a set and two breaks down to defeat Camila Giorgi 4-6 7-6(3) 6-1 in the third round of the Australian Open.

The Italian showed her intent in the match as she broke the American in her second service game, but Williams managed to hit back immediately to restore parity in the set.

However, Giorgi was able to manoeuvre the 34-year-old around the court to earn her second break, and she managed to close out the first set 6-4, despite the best efforts of the number 18 seed.

Giorgi continued her fine form as she broke Williams in the first game of the second set, and quickly earned another to put herself in command of the match.

Williams will now face Agnieszka Radwanska in the next stage of the tournament.
