PARIS – Serena Williams dispensed with any drama and won easily Monday to reach the quarterfinals of the French Open.

The No. 2-seeded Williams extended her Grand Slam winning streak to 18 matches by beating Aleksandra Wozniak, 6-1, 6-2, in the fourth round.

It was a straightforward, 53-minute victory, in contrast to Williams’ previous match, when she accused her opponent of cheating and had a coughing fit during a changeover.

“I feel like it was my most focused match so far,” said Williams, who has been battling a cold but said she’s feeling better. (AP)
