Venus Williams advances to fourth round at US Open
The Williams sisters keep cruising along while other top women’s seeds go crashing out of the U.S. Open.
But it can only continue for one more match.
Venus and Serena posted identical 6-2, 6-1 victories in the third round Saturday. Another win, and they’ll face each other in the quarterfinals.
Four of the top 10 women’s seeds have lost, including No. 1 Ana Ivanovic. The sisters are the only two former champs still alive.
Venus opened play at Arthur Ashe Stadium by beating No. 27 seed Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine. About five hours later on the same court, Serena defeated 30th-seeded Ai Sugiyama of Japan.
