World No 1 Serena Williams(USA) defeated fellow American Vania King 6-3, 6-3, her 306th Grand Slam singles match win tying her with Martina Navratilova for the most ever for a woman on Friday Sep 02,2016
"This one's kind of cool," she said of her latest milestone, "to win 306."
There could be more history in store for Williams as she seeks a seventh US Open title and a 23rd Grand Slam singles crown, both of which would be Open Era records.
She fired 13 aces, with a total of 38 winners against 87th-ranked wild card King, and said the troublesome right shoulder that has hindered her since Wimbledon wasn't a problem.
With Jay-Z and Beyonce sitting in Williams’ courtside box, the world No 1 may not have been at her best for her celebrity guests but was still too strong under the roof in New York with a 6-3, 6-3 win over fellow American Vania King in 65 minutes
"So far, so good," said Williams, who was cheered on by rap mogul Jay Z and his pop superstar wife Beyonce as she booked a meeting with 47th-ranked Swede Johanna Larsson for a place in the last 16.
