— -- NEW YORK -- Venus Williams just watched as  Sara Errani's winning shot zinged beyond her reach, shoulders slumping as the implications became clear. The No. 19 American had offered plenty of fight, had even been two points away from winning the match in the third set, but the Italian and No. 13 seed prevailed with a 6-0, 0-6, 7-6 (5) win in the third round of the US Open Friday.
