Serena and Venus Williams advanced to the
quarter-finals of the Miami Open on Monday, the sisters each cruising
to a straight-set triumph.
World number one Serena, seeking a third consecutive
Miami crown and record eighth title at the hardcourt event, hammered
Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-2, 6-3 while 16th-seeded elder sister
Venus defeated fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 7-6 (7/1).
Between them, the Williams sisters have won the Miami singles title 10
times and they could meet in the final - the only players to win the
crown three years in a row are Serena, from 2002-2004, and Steffi Graf,
who did it from 1994 to 1996.
Spanish 12th seed Carla Suarez Navarro upset seventh seed Agnieszka
Radwanska 5-7, 6-0, 6-4 and will be the next to play Venus Williams.
