Serena Williams advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon after easily defeating Kimiko Date-Krumm. Williams dominated, only losing two games in both sets played, as the final score was 6-2, 6-0.
Williams was far from perfect in this match. She committed 12 unforced errors versus Date-Krumm's nine while also committing the only double fault in the game. However, Williams powered her way through the match as she finished with eight aces and had 28 winners compared to Date-Kumm's eight. She also clocked in at 118 miles per hour with her strongest serve, over 20 mph faster than Date-Kumm's strongest serve.
Williams will face Sabine Lisicki (23) in the fourth round of the tournament. Lisicki's strongest grand slam tournament is Wimbledon. Her most successful run in a major came in 2011 at the All English Club when she made it as far as the semifinals. Last year at Wimbledon, Lisicki made it to the quarterfinals before getting eliminated by Angelique Kerber.
Lisicki and Williams have met twice in the past and Williams has won both matches.
Without a doubt, Williams is once again the favorite to win the fourth round meeting, however, Lisicki does not shy away from competition as she eliminated Maria Sharapova in last year's quarterfinal meeting.
