Serena Williams earns 307th Grand Slam match victory

One to go to have the most grand slams wins in the Open era - female and male

Serena Williams cruises into U.S. Open fourth round1:10

Another win, another milestone for Serena Williams who rolled into the U.S. Open last 16 on Saturday by crushing Sweden's Johanna Larsson 6-2, 6-1 to collect Grand Slam victory number 307 - the most by a woman in the Open era.

As in the majority of her victories at the majors, Williams operated with ruthless efficiency but displayed little fire as she coolly dispatched the 47th-ranked Swede in exactly one hour.

The win moved the 34-year-old American past Martina Navratilova and level with Roger Federer for most Grand Slam victories by a man or woman.

She's the ultimate champion.

But Venus is my favorite.

Gosh I remember the beads in their hair. They rocked the tennis world. I thought they were so fantastic. I remember Chris Evert being dismissive of them.

I lost so much respect for Chrissie then.

Fan of Serena Jameka Williams for 20 years. She is the best ever

Shoulder, continue to hold up.

Next match up on Labor Day (Weather permitting): Yaroslava Shvedova.

Stay focused Miss. Serena. One match at a time.
