Serena Williams charges through to fourth round at Wimbledon

Friday 26 June 2009

Serena Williams moved into the fourth round at Wimbledon with a comfortable 6-3, 6-4 win over Roberta Vinci.

Vinci dropped her opening service game but came back in the next game from a miss-hit and a rare double fault from Williams. Williams broke at the start of the second set and had break points for a double-break in the third game before Vinci recovered.

Vinci could not claw back the second break and saved two match points before the American eventually served out to wrap up a 6-3 6-4 win in an hour and 7 minutes.
