Compton-native Serena Williams continued her march through the Olympic tennis tournament Wednesday with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Vera Zvonareva in the quarterfinal round.
Williams hit 32 winners to three for the Russian, who also lost when they met in the 2010 Wimbledon final.
The match was played under the Centre Court roof, and the conditions suited the No. 4-seed She swept the final 10 games, and fans unfurled U.S. flags when she closed out the victory after just 51 minutes.
Williams has lost only 10 games through three rounds. The three-time Olympian is the winner of two gold medals in doubles and 14 major titles, but she has yet to win a singles medal.
