Venus Williams needed a caffeine fix during her Cincinnati Masters match against Donna Vekic on Thursday.

Williams could be heard requesting a cup of coffee "ASAP" from her coach as he offered her some pointers during a changeover in the match.

The coffee seemed to provide Williams with the boost she needed, as she rallied from a first-set loss to defeat Vekic 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.
