WUHAN, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- Venus Williams eased into the quarter-finals of the Wuhan Open with a straight-set win over Carla Suarez Navarro on Wednesday.
Williams continued her fine form by swatting aside world No.10 Suarez Navarro 6-3, 6-4.
On Tuesday, Williams saw off Julia Goerges to register the 700th match win of her career. And the milestone remained a hot topic of conversation 24 hours later.
"I'm not sure if it's my lucky number - that's 11, but it's pretty amazing to get to 700 wins," Venus said in her on-court interview. "I'm happy to finally be playing in Wuhan and performing so well here."
Having already accounted for No.7-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska in the first round, Williams now has six victories over members of the top 10 to her name in 2015 - her highest tally since 2009.
She will likely to face top seed Simona Halep next round if the Romanian can get the better of qualifier Johanna Konta.
