A long hard battle (h 3,26) to win the first match of the Open Madrid."World number one Serena Williams survived a huge scare before progressing to the third round of the Madrid Open on Monday at the expense of Vera Dushevina.However, it was not such a good day for third seed and defending champion Dinara Safina, who became the latest big name to tumble out of the women's tournament.Williams lost the first set and also saved a match point against Dushevina before eventually seeing off her Russian opponent 6-7 (2/7) 7-6 (7/5) 7-6 (7/5) in three hours and 26 minutes.It was the longest match of Williams` career but ensured the top seed, who needed treatment for a thigh problem, got back to winning ways after the disappointment of losing to Jelena Jankovic in the semi-finals in Rome last week.Williams, who held a match point in the deciding set against Jankovic, said: "I felt really bad about losing last time when I had match point and I just wanted to hang in there."I feel really proud because I definitely wasn't playing my best tennis. I was far off from playing well. Also, after playing a match for three hours, at that point I was determined to win."Looking ahead to the rest of the tournament at La Caja Magica, Williams added on Monday night: "I just plan to play better. I was a little off today, but it's all about looking to the future." "
