Williams sisters advance

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.
