Serena stormed Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro, 6-0 6-3, to solidify her spot in the Sweet 16.
Williams moves on to play Samantha Stosur. Stosur may be a no-name to many, but to Serena, her name sticks out as the opponent who snapped her nine-game win streak as the World No. 1 in July. Stosur already has a clearly defined game plan to take on No. 1 Serena.

I’m going to have to serve well and take every opportunity,” Stosur said. “As soon as I get that shorter ball, that half sniff to do something, then I’ve got to do it. I can’t let those kind of go by and wait for a second chance.
It’s going to be obviously quick points and hard hitting, so I’m going to have to stand my ground and really stand up to her and give her my best shot.
Other big fourth round matches include Henin v Wickmayer and Petrova v Kuznetsova.
