Wimbledon 2009: Serena Williams bet Roberta Vinci to reach 4th round

Serena Williams is much closer from her dream. She has moved to fourth round after defeating Roberta Vinci by 6-3, 6-4. Her dominance over the grass-court shows the possibility to hold the trophy. Recently, she is taking the second ranking. This match was played only 67 minutes. However, she took another straight win and you can understand that she didn’t give her opponent any chance to come back in the competition. 
Serena Williams hit 10 aces and made 12 unforced errors. It seems that she will be the big threat for her elder sister Venus Williams, who is the five-time Wimbledon champion. I think that we can see another final match of Williams’ sisters.
