Sweden's Johanna Larsson was her latest victim - dispatched 6-2, 6-1 – and Williams surpasses Martina Navratilova to draw level with Roger Federer's mark for men.

"To be up there with both men and women is something that's super rare and it actually feels good," said Williams.

"Obviously I want to keep that number going higher."

She will get her chance when she takes on Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova on Monday for a quarter-final berth.

Radwanska advances with ease

Fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska advanced with ease, seeing off France's Caroline Garcia 6-2, 6-3 to set up a meeting with Croatian Ana Konjuh, a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 winner over American Varvara Lepchenko.

Fifth seed Simona Halep also moved into the fourth round where she will play the Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro.

Sixth seed Venus Williams, whose seven Grand Slam titles include US Open crowns in 2000 and 2001, coasted into the last 16 with a 6-1, 6-2 romp past the unseeded German Laura Siegemund.

The 10th-seeded Karolina Pliskova awaits the 36-year-old.
