U.S. Open: Serena Williams cruises to fourth round with dominating win

Serene in Williams, we have never seen anything like it.

The media wing talked to her after reaching this landmark.

Venus is into the fourth round for the second straight season, having gone four years without passing round three while she learned to cope with Sjogren’s syndrome, an auto-immune disease that causes chronic fatigue and muscle soreness.

“That was a number of years ago”. But she fell short again in the second and couldn’t recover when Osaka resumed the play that earned her the 3-0 lead in the first.

For her first day match on Arthur Ashe, Williams switched from evening black to afternoon white but the change in attire did nothing to change the outcome. No. 26 Laura Siegemund No. 10 Karolina Pliskova def.

Wawrinka will next face 64th-ranked Daniel Evans, of Britain, a 6-4 6-4 5-7 6-2 victor against Germany’s Alexander Zverev. Mubtaahij was worth $6.20 and $2.80 at 5-1, and Frosted brought $2.10.

At Wimbledon in July, when Williams was en route to her record-equaling 22nd Grand Slam title, a reporter asked her about being considered one of history’s greatest female athletes. “Between those two, you can’t beat ’em”.

Fifth-seeded Simona Halep smashed her racket in frustration en route to a 6-1, 2-6, 6-4, third-round victory over 34th-ranked Timea Babos at the U.S. Open.

From there on out, it was smooth sailing for Serena-who imposed her will with 24 winners and a 53 percent conversion rate on receiving points. She faced only one break point – her first of the tournament – and saved it. But, for this, we all have to wait for the upcoming clashes of Serena in the 136th edition of US OPEN. Only four other matches this tournament have lasted longer. No. 17 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 6-2, 6-4 No. 11 Carla Suarez Navarro def.

“I had to stop rushing”, said Murray, who arrived at the year’s final grand slam off victories at Wimbledon and the Rio Olympics and may have expected less from Lorenzi, the 34-year-old Italian who only won a first ATP title in July. For place in Quarterfinals she will face Croatia’s Ana Konjuh who needed 3 sets to beat USA’s Varvara Lepchenko 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. She also doubled her American opponent on the returns. Intimidation. She’s got it going. “Hopefully we’ll have a good match”.

“The further in the draw she is coming, the more players have also played her more often, so they know a little bit more what to expect and have probably played on the Center Court with this surface”. Serena Williams throws a clinic for the 28-year old Larsson with a 6-2, 6-1 sweep.

Serena Williams of the United States reacts to a point against Vania King.

Williams next plays Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova. The last match was in the 2014 Miami Masters, a match that took 21 games. The next milestone in sight is perhaps the biggest of all: Steffi Graf’s professional-era mark for grand slam titles.

Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka booked their spot in the fourth round of the US Open, but it was not quite easy sailing for the latter.

Thiem blasted 47 winners, 20 in the last set, on his way to a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 victory over 39th-ranked Pablo Carreno Busta.
