Agence France-PresseMay 13, 2013 15:16
World No.1 Serena Williams cruised into the Madrid Open quarter-finals as she dismantled 13th seed Maria Kirilenko 6-3, 6-1 in just an hour and four minutes on Thursday. The American, who is yet to be beaten in eight matches on clay this season, held a perfect 6-0 head-to-head record with the Russian before the match and never looked in danger of extending that streak to seven out of seven. Williams didn't even face a break point during the match as she broke at 3-3 to move ahead and then again in the final game of the first set.
