NEW YORK -- Venus Williams lost her fourth-round match in Arthur Ashe Stadium when, minutes later, younger sister?Serena?walked somber-faced into the same venue.On cue, the note from research appeared in an email: The Williams sisters have lost on the same day in a Grand Slam only four times.The last time it happened was two years ago at the French Open, but it didnt happen Monday at the US Open. Not even close.Serena came down hard on Kazakhstans Yaroslava Shvedova 6-2, 6-3 in a scant 68 minutes.The victory, in her 350th Grand Slam singles match, pushed Williams major match win total to 308, past Roger Federer for the all-time record.Oh, wow, Serena said in her on-court interview when given the news. Three-o-eight sounds pretty good.Who will wind up with more?I dont know, she said. Well see. Hopefully well both keep going.Serena has now won 30 of her past 31 matches at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.A few more takeaways from the match:Serenas serve was sizzling: Yes, shes already widely acknowledged as having the best serve in the history of womens tennis. But Williams, who turns 35 near the end of the month, can still hammer it. She won an incredible 93 percent of her first serves, 28 of 30. There were shoulder concerns coming into this event, but on the last point of the first game of the second set, Serena clocked an ace down the middle, at 126 mph. It was the fastest womans serve of the tournament, and her fastest by five mph. For the tournament, shes unbroken and has faced only one break point. I cant really believe it, Serena said afterward. Ive never served this consistently.Better than Federer: Serenas Grand Slam match win record is intriguing, but it also underlines just how well shes played after turning 30. This was her 100th match win since she crossed the three-decade mark; the record is a sporty 100-10. Federer is 84-18. Serena leads in 30-something major titles, 9-1.Shvedova was under-served: Shvedova, who lost to Venus in this years Wimbledon quarterfinals, looked like the WTAs No. 52-ranked player against Serena. Shvedova was in constant difficulty on her serve, particularly her toss. Shvedova lost 14 of her 25 second-serve points and double-faulted five times.Next up in the quarters: Serena has beaten the No. 5 Simona Halep seven of eight times, the most recent coming at Indian Wells back in March. Serena won comfortably, 6-4, 6-3.The drama of whos No. 1: With No. 2 seed Angelique Kerber into the quarterfinals, Serena needs at least to reach the final to have a chance of hanging on to her No. 1 ranking. Technically, Agnieszka Radwanksa is still in the mix. too. Serena has been No. 1 for 186 consecutive weeks, equaling Steffi Grafs Open era record. Williams is seeking her 23rd Grand Slam singles title, which would break her tie with Graf and give her the all-time Open era record.
