On to the quarters.....

Serena has defeated Nicole Vaidisova 6-3, 6-4. Serena now moves into the quarter-final round. During a brief post match interview with Bud Collins, he asked Serena "How much better is Serena Williams today than she was one year ago?" Serena responded: "Serena Williams last year was unbelievable, I hope I don't have to play her. I'm trying to get back to that level and beyond." Classic. At the end of the day, you gotta love Serena Williams. Serena has currently served the most aces (on the women's side of course), with a total of 36. Current second place belongs to Nicole Vaidisova with 23. Venus and Serena are currently tied for fastest serve of the tournament at 199 km/h which translates to about 123.65 mph.

* Venus and Serena play their 3rd Rnd Doubles match (vs. Maret Ani and Meilen Tu) on Monday. It is scheduled to be the 4th match of the day on Show Court 2.
